Instructions
  1. 1

    Rim the glass

    Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into coarse salt (or sugar, if you want it a little sweeter). Fill the glass with ice and set it aside.

  1. 2

    Shake it up

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the tequila, triple sec, cranberry juice, agave, and fresh lime juice. Shake hard for about 15 seconds until it's cold and frosty. Taste it — add a touch more agave if your cranberry juice is running tart.

  2. 3

    Strain and serve

    Strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice. Drop in a few fresh cranberries and tuck in a sprig of rosemary for that holiday-party look.

Notes & Tips

This is basically fall in a glass — tart cranberry, a little citrus, and just enough tequila to make it a weekend. The ratios are forgiving, so taste as you go: more agave if your cranberry juice is on the tart side, more lime if it's leaning sweet. Mocktail swap: skip the tequila and triple sec, bump the cranberry juice up to 4-5 oz, add a splash of orange juice for that triple-sec orange note, and top with a little soda water. Same festive glass, zero proof.
