- Fill a cocktail shaker (or mason jar) with ice. Add the tequila, cranberry juice, lime juice, and orange liqueur. Shake vigorously for a full 30 seconds, to perfectly chill and dilute.

Notes
- This margarita is a tart one when using 100% pure cranberry juice and fresh lime juice. If desired, add a bit of simple syrup, agave syrup, or honey. I often add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup to this recipe that makes 2 margaritas. Just add it to the cocktail shaker with the other ingredients and shake!
