Cadillac Cranberry Margaritas
Instructions
1
|
Shake some salt onto a small plate or shallow bowl. Rub the rim of a rocks glass or margarita glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim of the glass in the salt, and fill the glass with ice. Dip half of a lime wheel into a bit of Tajin and set aside (optional).

In a cocktail shaker, combine the reposado tequila, simple syrup, lime juice, the leftover wedge of lime, Triple Sec, cranberry juice, and a pinch of salt. Fill the cocktail shaker with a handful or two of ice. Cover, and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is very cold and frosty, about 20-30 seconds.

Strain the margarita into the prepared glass. Finish with a float of Grand Marnier (about 1 ounce). Garnish with a few cranberries and the Tajin-coated lime (or a regular lime wheel). Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Cranberry Juice Quality 🍇Always use 100% unsweetened cranberry juice for the most authentic and balanced flavor profile in your margarita.
- Salt Rim Perfection 🧂For an elevated presentation, use Tajin seasoning instead of plain salt to add a zesty, slightly spicy rim that complements the cranberry's tartness.
- Tequila Selection 🥃Choose a high-quality reposado tequila that has been aged in oak barrels, as its subtle woody notes will enhance the complexity of the cocktail.
- Ice Matters 🧊Use large, clear ice cubes to minimize dilution and maintain the cocktail's robust flavor profile while keeping it perfectly chilled.
- Citrus Balance 🍋Fresh-squeeze your lime juice right before mixing to ensure maximum brightness and avoid the flat taste of pre-bottled juice.
