- Replace lid and shake vigorously.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- If you don't have cranberry juice, you can make your own by simmering fresh or frozen cranberries in water for 10-15 minutes. Then, strain the mixture to remove the solids.
- You can use any type of tequila you like in this recipe. However, a blanco or reposado tequila will give you the best flavor.
- If you don't have Cointreau, you can use another orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Triple Sec.
- Be sure to rim the glasses with salt before serving. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the margarita.
- Garnish the margaritas with a lime wedge or a cranberry.

The Cranberry Margarita is a refreshing and festive cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give the Cranberry Margarita a try!
