Ingredients
Scale
2 cups blanco tequila (100% agave)
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice (unsweetened preferred)
1/4 cup orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec)
2–3 tablespoons agave nectar or simple syrup
1 cup sparkling water or club soda
Ice (as needed)
Kosher salt, sugar, or Tajín (for rimming)
Lime wheels, pomegranate arils, and rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the glasses: rub a lime wedge around each rim, then dip into salt or sugar. Fill with ice so they’re frosty and ready. The salt rim gives a crisp bite that complements the tart lime.
In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, and agave. Add plenty of ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses over fresh ice. You want a clean pour with just a kiss of chill from the ice.
Top each glass with sparkling water and give a gentle stir to blend without losing fizz. You should hear a light fizz and see a lively shimmer in the glass.
Garnish with a lime wheel, a few pomegranate seeds, and a small rosemary sprig for a fragrant, festive look. The rosemary swirls a piney aroma as you sip.
Serve immediately and enjoy the holiday sparkle with friends and family. If you’re sharing a pitcher, mix the tequila, lime, cranberry, orange liqueur, and sweetener in advance and add sparkling water just before serving.
Notes
A festive margarita with blanco tequila, lime, cranberry and rosemary—bright, bubbly, and perfect for holiday gatherings.
