Make this Mulled Cranberry Margarita for a festive and warmly spiced cocktail. It combines tart cranberry with traditional mulling spices for a perfect winter drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 oz Tequila Blanco
  • 1 oz Cranberry Juice (unsweetened is best)
  • 0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 0.5 oz Orange Liqueur (like Cointreau)
  • 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • Small pinch Ground Cinnamon
  • Small pinch Ground Clove
  • Garnish: Lime wheel and sugared cranberries

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You will need a cocktail shaker and a chilled margarita glass or rocks glass.
  2. In the cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, cranberry juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, simple syrup, bitters, cinnamon, and clove.
  3. Fill the shaker three-quarters full with ice.
  4. Seal the shaker tightly and shake hard until the outside is very cold, about 15-20 seconds.
  5. If using a rocks glass, fill it with fresh ice. If using a coupe or margarita glass, you can serve it up (without ice).
  6. Double strain the mixture into your prepared glass.
  7. Garnish each drink with a lime wheel and a few sugared cranberries.

Notes

  • For a stronger mulling flavor, you can infuse your simple syrup with a cinnamon stick and a star anise pod while heating.
  • If you prefer a salt rim, use a mixture of fine salt and a tiny amount of orange zest.
  • Taste the cranberry juice first; if it is heavily sweetened, reduce the simple syrup slightly.
