Holiday Cranberry Margarita

A generous couple spoonfuls of your favorite cranberry relish creates a ruby-hued margarita with the season’s punchiest fruit. The smoky chiles in Wing Magic balance sweetness, and give the sugared rim an alluring heat. Sugared cranberries will dazzle guests, but this festive cocktail is also beautiful with a sprig of fresh rosemary or wheel of citrus.

Prep Time

Silver tequila delivers a bright, clean flavor that lets the fruit shine. For a smoother flavor, use reposado tequila instead. Since the sweetness in cranberry relish varies, taste the drink after shaking and adjust lime or orange juices as needed.

Ingredients
4 ounces silver tequila
2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
2 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice
2 generous tablespoons cranberry relish (see note)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon Wing Magic seasoning
Sugared cranberries, a rosemary sprig, and/or an orange or lime wheel
For the sugared rim:
To garnish
Directions
Whisk together the sugar and Wing Magic in a shallow bowl. Moisten 4 highball glasses with a wedge of lime and coat with sugar mixture. Carefully fill glasses with ice.
Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, and cranberry relish in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously, then strain into glasses. Garnish with sugared cranberries, or an orange or lime wheel.
Recipe Note
If you don’t have cranberry relish on hand, feel free to use sweetened cranberry juice instead. If you do, reduce the orange juice to 1 ounce and taste the mixture after shaking. Add more orange juice as desired for sweetness.
