Ingredients
Scale
2 ounces tequila (or non-alcoholic alternative)
1 ounce triple sec (or orange juice)
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
2 ounces cranberry juice
0.5 ounces simple syrup (or agave syrup)
Salt or sugar for rim
Fresh cranberries for garnish

Sprig of rosemary for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Glass: Start by rimming your glass. Run a lime wedge around the edge and then dip it in salt or your choice of colored sugar. Set the glass aside.
Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of tequila (or your non-alcoholic alternative), 1 ounce of triple sec (or orange juice), 1 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 2 ounces of cranberry juice.
Add Sweetness: If you like your drinks a little sweeter, add half an ounce of simple syrup or agave syrup to the shaker.
Shake It Up: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will chill the mixture and blend the flavors beautifully.
Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. You can use a fine mesh strainer for a smoother finish.
Garnish: Add a festive touch by garnishing with fresh cranberries, a lime wheel, or a sprig of rosemary for that perfect holiday look.
