Equipment

  • Shaker

Ingredients

  • 2 oz fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz orange juice
  • ½ oz agave or maple syrup
  • ¾ oz triple sec
  • 1 ½ oz tequila I used Reposado
  • 3 ginger chews
  • 5-6 fresh cranberries
  • 1 small rosemary sprig

Instructions

  • Salt or sugar the rim of your glass and add 2 ginger chews and a few cranberries to the cup.
  • Add lime juice, tequila, triple sec, orange juice, agave and ice to shaker and shake it vigorously for 15-20 seconds. Remove the lid and pour the mixture into the cup.
  • Garnish the margarita with a few more cranberries, a small rosemary sprig and put the last ginger chew on the rim.

Notes

  • If you're not a fan of ginger, you can omit it. The margarita will still be delicious without it.
  • You can use maple syrup instead of agave. 
  • You could substitute candied orange peel for the candied ginger if you prefer. 
  • Do not use dried rosemary instead of the fresh rosemary sprig. The fresh rosemary sprig doesn't add a lot of flavor, it's just a festive garnish.
  • Don't use dried cranberries instead of fresh because they dried cranberries will absorb the liquid in the drink and become very mushy and squishy. 
  • If you want to make a big pitcher, don't add the ice to the mixture. Put the fresh ice in the cups and pour the margarita mix over the ice. 
  • These are the red and white swirl paper straws that I used in the pictures.
