"Cranberry margarita, anyone?! This 4-ingredient cocktail is a holiday twist on my classic margarita recipe. I keep the tequila, orange liqueur, and lime, but I replace the simple syrup with cranberry juice. It's sweet and tart, fruity and refreshing, and a gorgeous ruby red. Garnished with fresh cranberries and a rosemary sprig, it's so darn fun and festive! I developed this recipe with Thanksgiving in mind-we're celebrating in Austin this year, so serving margaritas just felt right."
"But honestly, I think this cranberry margarita would be perfect for the rest of the holiday season too. With its bold color and seasonal garnishes, it would fit right in at a Christmas or New Year's party. If you're a margarita fan, get ready to make it on repeat from now through the end of the year! This cranberry margarita recipe starts with 4 simple ingredients:"
"Cranberry juice - Look for an unsweetened one that's 100% juice. Most popular brands contain some apple and grape juice for a balanced sweet-tart flavor. Blanco tequila - Also known as silver tequila. Feel free to use your favorite brand. Espolon is our go-to. Orange liqueur - I like Cointreau, but Grand Marnier and triple sec are also good choices. Fresh lime juice - Squeeze it yourself for the freshest flavor!"
The cranberry margarita combines blanco tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and unsweetened cranberry juice for a four-ingredient cocktail. The drink balances sweet and tart flavors and has a vivid ruby-red color. Garnish options include fresh cranberries and a rosemary sprig for a seasonal presentation. Preparation involves shaking the ingredients with ice and straining into a rocks glass over ice; stirring in a mixing glass is an acceptable alternative when no shaker is available. Flavor adjustments include adding more lime for tang, more cranberry juice or simple syrup for sweetness, or extra tequila for higher alcohol.
