merry berry christmas margarita
Non-fancy name: cranberry limoncello margarita. Festive as fuq.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz limoncello
- 3 oz cranberry juice
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- 1-2 tbsp agave, or to taste
- sparkling water, to top
- sugared rosemary and cranberries, for garnish (see note)
Instructions
- Run a wedge of lime around the rim of a cocktail glass. Dip and swirl into the sugar, shaking off excess.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, limoncello, cranberry juice, lime juice, and agave. Fill with ice and shake until cold. Pour into the prepared cocktail glass and top with as many splashes of sparkling water as you please. Garnish with cranberries and sugared rosemary, as desired.
Notes
*Sugared rosemary: Heat 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of sugar in a small pot, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Dip several sprigs of rosemary into the syrup and lay on a wire rack set atop a baking sheet or a piece of parchment. Sprinkle both sides with sugar. Let sit for at least 30 minutes until set. You can also repeat this process with the cranberries if you wish!
