These margaritas are a surefire hit. Loaded with good cranberry juice, these will get any party started. This recipe is really for about 1-2 drinks. I like to make a lot and put it into a big pitcher to serve when needed from the fridge.
Ingredients
- 2 parts good tequila
- 1 part fresh lime juice
- 1 part orange liquor(triple sec, grand marnier)
- 1 part 100% cranberry juice(do not use cocktails)
- 1/2 part simple syrup
- lime wedge for garnish
- lots of ice
Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Serve with or without ice and a lime garnish
NOTE: Do NOT use cocktail mixture for the cranberry juice. Use only those that say 100% cranberry juice. If the ingredients has corn syrup and you use it, you will be sorry.
NOTE: When making the simple syrup I recommend adding lime zest to it so that it enhances it's flavor. Just make sure to strain it before using.
NOTE: The more simple syrup you add the sweeter it will be. My advice is to test it out with a little and if you need more add more to your liking.
