Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rim the glass with sugar for a frosty effect. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass, then dip it into sugar on a small plate to coat.
  • In a shaker filled with ice, combine the blanco tequila, white cranberry juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well-chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice, or serve it straight up in a chilled coupe glass.
  • Add a sprig of fresh rosemary for a festive, aromatic touch. Optionally, garnish with a lime wheel for additional flair.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Cranberry juice: Use white cranberry juice for a subtle, smooth sweetness that won’t overpower the other flavors.
  • Rosemary aroma: Lightly roll the rosemary sprig between your palms to release its aromatic oils before garnishing.
  • Glass chilling: Place your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving to enhance the frosty effect.
