Notes
- There are two ways - one exacting the juice from fresh berries and second making a cranberry syrup to make margarita
- Using fresh homemade juice gives you the best tasting margaritas. Feel free to use store bought packaged juice from carton if you want to speed things up.
- Into a juicer, throw in fresh cranberries and juice it. Making your own cranberry juice from scratch won’t take much time. Balancing the tartness of the cranberries is done with sugar or any sweetener.
- Puree fresh cranberries and squeeze the heck out of them through a strainer. Then add sugar accordingly to balance out the tartness of fresh cranberries.
- Alternatively ….
- Into a sauce pan add cranberries, sugar and water. Bring it to boil. After 8 to 10 minutes cranberries will turn soft. Mash it a little and turn off flame.
- Allow the cranberry juice to cool a little. Then strain off using fine mesh sieve and squeeze out as much juice as you can.
- Let cranberry juice cool down completely before using it in margarita.Â
- Taste cranberry juice before adding it to the cocktail. If too sour, add simple syrup to balance out the sour taste.Â
