Thanksgiving Margarita Ingredients

  • 2 oz Tequila
  • 1 oz Orange liqueur
  • 2 oz Cranberry juice
  • 1 oz Fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz Simple syrup
  • Ice, for shaking
  • Cranberries or lime wedge, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of orange liqueur, 2 oz of cranberry juice, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.
  2. Shake: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and combined.
  3. Strain: Strain the mixture into a chilled glass, either straight up or over fresh ice according to your preference.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cranberries or a lime wedge for a festive touch, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the simple syrup quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Rimming the glass with sugar or salt can add an extra layer of taste if desired.
  • For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
  • Substitute cranberry juice cocktail with 100% cranberry juice for a less sweet, more tart drink.
