This cranberry margarita recipe is bright, festive, and just tart enough to make each sip refreshing. The fresh citrus juice, cranberry syrup, and a bubbly ginger beer finish feel perfect for the holidays!
Make the margarita: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the tequila, Cointreau, cranberry simple syrup, lime juice, and orange juice. Shake for about 30 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
Assemble the drink: On a small plate, combine the sugar and salt. Using some lime or orange juice, wet the rim of a glass. Dip into the sugar and salt mixture. Add ice to the glass and pour in the margarita. Top off with ginger beer and garnish with a slice of lime (or cranberries), if desired.
