Notes
- Tips and Tricks:
- Tips and Tricks:
- Use a different type of juice - I know this is a cranberry margarita but these ratios will work with tangerine juice, orange juice or grapefruit juice. Will they be called a cranberry margarita? Obviously not lol.
- Add a bit of sugar to the rim - If you want a salty/sweet combo on the rim of the glass, add a teaspoon of sugar to the salt and lime zest mixture.
