ORANGE-CRANBERRY MARGARITA
Steps:
- For the cranberries: Combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cranberries and weight with a plate to submerge them in the liquid. Cover the pot and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 48 hours.

- For the margarita: In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lime and orange zests with the cranberries, 1/4 cup of the cranberry syrup, and the sugar.
- Add the tequila, orange juice, lime juice and orange liqueur; stir until combined. Fill 4 glasses with ice cubes, and strain some of the margarita mixture over each. Garnish each glass with 6 sugared cranberries.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or dried cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure the cranberries are ripe. Ripe cranberries are a deep red color and have a slightly soft texture. Avoid cranberries that are pale or have bruises.
- Wash the cranberries thoroughly. Rinse the cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds from the cranberries. If you don't have a fine-mesh strainer, you can use a cheesecloth-lined colander.
- Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. If you like your margaritas tart, add less sugar. If you like them sweeter, add more sugar.
- Use a good quality tequila. A good quality tequila will give your margaritas a smooth, flavorful taste. Avoid using cheap tequila, as it will make your margaritas taste harsh.
- Serve the margaritas immediately. Margaritas are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Cranberry margaritas are a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive cocktail, give cranberry margaritas a try!
