Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 limes, divided
1 ½ cups ice, cubed
1 ½ oz tequila, reposado preffered
½ oz simple syrup
2 oz Ocean Spray 100% Juice Cranberry
½ oz triple sec
¼ cup kosher salt, for garnish

Steps:

Roll 2 of the limes on a cutting board to help release the juice. Cut the limes in half and juice them using a citrus press, straining the seeds out if necessary. This should yield approximately 1 ounce of fresh lime juice.
Add the cubed ice to a tall shaker.
Add the tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, Ocean Spray 100% Juice Cranberry, and Triple sec and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
Place the kosher salt in a small dish. Cut the remaining lime into quarter wedges.
Using one wedge, run the lime around the edge of 2 rocks glasses. Dip the glasses in the salt to make a salted rim.
Fill the glasses with fresh ice and strain the contents of the shaker over the fresh ice into the glasses.
Serve with the remaining lime wedges and enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they will not be as tart.
If you don't have cranberry simple syrup, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of cranberries, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture has thickened.
To make a non-alcoholic version of this margarita, omit the tequila and add an extra 1/2 cup of cranberry juice.
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge and a few fresh cranberries for a festive touch.
