Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces silver tequila
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2 ounces unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup
  • Fresh mint leaves, lightly bruised
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh cranberries for garnish
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Coarse salt or sugar for rimming the glass (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Choose your glass and rim it with lime juice, then dip it into coarse salt or sugar. Set aside to dry while you mix the drink.
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh mint leaves gently with the agave syrup to release the oils without bitterness.
  • Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and cranberry juice into the shaker.
  • Fill the shaker with ice cubes to chill the mixture and slightly dilute the alcohol.
  • Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled and frothy.
  • Strain the mixture into the rimmed glass filled with fresh ice, using a fine mesh strainer to catch any mint bits.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and a few fresh cranberries skewered on a cocktail pick to resemble mistletoe berries.
  • Adjust agave syrup or lime juice to taste if a sweeter or tarter profile is preferred.
