Method
- If rimming the glass, run a lime wedge around the rim of a coupe or rocks glass and dip in coarse salt or sugar. Set aside.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, cranberry juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty cold.
- Strain the mixture into your prepared glass. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary to resemble mistletoe.
Notes
Pro Tip: Use 100% unsweetened cranberry juice for the best color and tart flavor. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to your liking.
Make a Pitcher: Combine 2 cups tequila, 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice, 3/4 cup lime juice, 1/2 cup orange liqueur, and 1/2 cup simple syrup. Stir with ice and serve for a crowd (makes 8 servings).
Variation: Add a cinnamon stick or star anise to your simple syrup for a spiced version.
Mocktail Version: Omit tequila and orange liqueur; mix cranberry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup, then top with sparkling water or ginger ale.
