Main Ingredients
- 2 ounces Silver Tequila
- 2 ounces Unsweetened Cranberry Juice
- 1 ounce Triple Sec
- ½ ounce Lime Juice
- ¾ ounce Simple Syrup
For Garnish
- Lime Wedge
- Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Rim a glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim, then invert the glass onto a plate with kosher salt to coat the rim evenly. Set the glass aside until ready to serve.
- Mix the Drink: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the silver tequila, unsweetened cranberry juice, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice or neat as preferred. Garnish with a lime wedge if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust the simple syrup to taste if you prefer a sweeter or more tart margarita.
- For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice until smooth.
- Kosher salt is recommended for rim as it offers a coarser texture that enhances the drinking experience.
