Preparation of Glasses

Start by rimming your glasses with salt or sugar for a festive look. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass and dip into a plate of salt or sugar. Set aside.

Mixing the Margarita

In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, cranberry juice, and a handful of crushed ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to blend all flavors well.

Serving the Drink

Fill your prepared glass with fresh crushed ice and pour the mixed cocktail into the glass. Garnish with fresh cranberries, lime slices, and a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.

4. Storage Tips for Your Christmas Cocktail

If you have leftover festive drinks, store the cocktail mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, prepare the cocktail ingredients separately and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness and flavor.
