Notes

  • Skip the overpriced cups of pomegranate arils. Check out my tutorial on how to remove seeds from a pomegranate — it’s super easy.

  • Stock up on fresh cranberries while you have the chance. They freeze beautifully, but seem to disappear from shelves in late December. As a bonus, frozen cranberries help keep your drink frosty while still adding a pop of color!

  • Use high-quality tequila made from 100% pure agave. Trust me — anything that is a “blend” is a surefire way to give yourself a hangover.
