Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ ounces tequila
- ¾ ounces triple sec
- 3 ounces cranberry juice see notes
- juice of ½ lime
- lime slices and cranberries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Moisten the rim of a rocks glass with water or lime juice. Turn the glass upside down into a small plate filled with kosher salt. Rim the glass with the salt. Carefully add ice cubes to the glass. Set aside.
- Add all of the ingredients (minus the garnish) to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until very cold.

Notes
- Use pure cranberry juice or cranberry juice cocktail, according to your preference. Cranberry juice cocktail will obviously be sweeter, so keep this in mind (this is what I used).
