This Cranberry Margarita is an alcoholic beverage with a vibrant blend of tequila, cranberry, and citrus for a refreshing cocktail.And, it is as pretty to look at as it is delightful to sip! It’s the perfect cocktail to enjoy in the winter months when cranberries complement the holiday spirit and toast at your New Year’s Eve parties, or any party! I also have a Cranberry Vodka Slush which is a popular holiday drink.Ingredients & Substitutions Salt Rim: Sticking with a classic part of a margarita, we can’t forget the salted rim! This salted lime rim enhances the overall taste of the cranberry margarita.

I prefer kosher or coarse salt.But, you could use table salt or margarita salt as substitutes.Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is added to the salted rim as well as to the margarita.

You could use bottled juice if that is what you have on hand, but freshly squeezed is best! Tequila: Choose a brand of tequila that you like to drink.If you are not a fan of tequila, you could substitute vodka.Cranberry Juice: I prefer 100% cranberry juice in this margarita, which is less sweet than a cranberry juice cocktail.

However, you could use your favorite variety of cranberry juice.Add more or less juice to taste.Orange Liqueur: Look for orange liqueur like Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, or Orange Curacao. It brings brightness and zestiness to the drink.

Garnish: To tie it all together, garnish the drink with fresh cranberries and lime
