Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of flavors, use fresh oranges and cranberries. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries can be used as a substitute.
  • To make the simple syrup, simmer the sugar and water together until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely before using.
  • If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a blender to make the margaritas. Just be sure to blend on low speed and pulse a few times, or you'll end up with slushies instead of margaritas.
  • Garnish your margaritas with a slice of orange, a lime wedge, or a sprig of mint for a festive touch.

With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, the orange cranberry margarita is the perfect cocktail to enjoy all year round.
