Tips Tricks and FAQs
- If you prefer, you do not need to add the margarita salt to the rim of the glass.
- You can omit the cranberries if you prefer.
- Want to change the flavor a bit? Try adding mint garnish to the top.
- If you are making this for a crowd you will want to use 1 shot of tequila for every 3 ounces of cranberry juice. Be sure to mix it well before pouring and serving. Add ice to each individual cup instead of the entire batch.
Storage
You will want to enjoy this cranberry craze cocktail right away. Over time it will become watered down with the addition of ice.
Thankfully this drink is really easy to make and can be done in just a few minutes. I recommend keeping your tequila and cranberry juice cooled in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
