Notes

Prep in advance. You’ll need to make the sugared cranberries and simple syrup in advance.
Chill ingredients. I recommend making these margaritas and chill for at least two hours before party time.
Use nice glassware. The glasses don’t have to be expensive. But using clear glasses instead of solo cups will make for a PRETTY cocktail. They are pretty, aren’t they?! 😀
Make multiple batches for large parties. This recipe makes about eight cocktails. So if you are having a really large group, you’ll need to double or triple this!
Eat some good food. I always recommend eating while drinking alcohol. I’ve got lots of good appetizers and snacks on the blog, so choose your favorites!
