Tips:

  • Use fresh, plump and bright red-colored whole berries for the best flavor and appearance. Avoid frozen or thawed berries as they can be too mushy for this recipe.
  • To easily remove cranberry juice from the fresh berries, place them in a food processor or blender and pulse until they are finely chopped. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the solids with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
  • If you prefer a sweeter margarita, add more simple syrup or honey to taste. You can also use flavored syrup such as orange or lime for a different flavor twist.
  • Remember to chill your margarita glasses before serving for an extra refreshing experience.
  • Garnish your margarita with fresh lime wedges, a sprinkle of salt, and a rosemary spring for added visual appeal and flavor.
