Scale
- 1 1/2 oz silver tequila
- 1/2 oz Cointreau
- 2 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- 1 tbsp cranberry sauce (or sub 1 oz cranberry juice)
- 1/2 oz maple syrup (optional)
- dash orange bitters
- ice
Garnish:
- Fresh or frozen cranberries
- An orange slice
- Rosemary
Instructions
- Into a cocktail shaker add the tequila, Cointreau, orange juice, lime juice, cranberry sauce, maple syrup, orange bitters, and a few ice cubes. Close and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Pour into a glass and add a couple of ice cubes, the cranberries, a slice of orange, and a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
If you don't have cranberry sauce, you can use 1 oz cranberry juice instead. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, use cranberry juice, not the sauce, and mix everything right in the glass.
Virgin margarita:
Skip the tequila and Cointreau. Add 1 oz more orange juice, 1 oz water, and 1 extra tsp maple syrup.
