Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter, more tart flavor than frozen or dried cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can substitute frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure your tequila is chilled: Chilled tequila is essential for a refreshing margarita. If you don't have time to chill your tequila in the refrigerator, you can place it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Use a good-quality orange liqueur: A good-quality orange liqueur will add a rich, complex flavor to your margarita. Look for an orange liqueur that is made with real oranges, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
- Don't overmix your margarita: Overmixing your margarita will make it watery and dilute the flavors. Shake your margarita for just a few seconds, until the ingredients are well combined.
- Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge and a cranberry: A lime wedge and a cranberry are the perfect finishing touches for a very cranberry margarita.
