A refreshing twist on the classic cranberry margarita, perfect for gatherings.
Combine half of the cranberry juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, simple syrup, and tequila in a blender.
Blending in batches ensures a smoother texture and avoids overfilling the blender.
Add ice to the blender and blend until smooth.
Use crushed ice for quicker blending and a smoother consistency.
Pour the blended mixture into a pitcher.
Chill the pitcher beforehand to keep the drink cold longer.
Repeat the blending process with the remaining ingredients.
Ensure the second batch matches the consistency of the first for uniformity.
Rim the margarita glasses with salt or sugar, then pour the drink into the glasses.
Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of the glass before dipping in salt or sugar.
Garnish with fresh cranberries and lime slices before serving.
Arrange the garnishes attractively for a festive presentation.
