This vibrant cocktail has been the drink of Christmas in our house this year. It combines the zest of lime with the tartness of cranberry juice, creating a refreshingly sharp taste that’s balanced perfectly with the smoothness of tequila. To start, create an enticing rim for your glass by blending salt and Tajin, a zesty Mexican seasoning. Feliz Navidad! Running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it in this mixture adds an extra pop of flavour right from the first sip.

Next, the heart of the cocktail: a mix of tequila, triple sec liqueur, freshly squeezed lime juice, and cranberry juice, all shaken together over ice. This simple yet effective combination results in a drink that’s both invigorating and perfect for Christmas.

A harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and bitter flavours.

Once shaken, pour the mixture into your prepared glass, over ice. For the final touch, a garnish of dried lemon or lime adds a bit of decoration and a subtle hint of citrusy aroma. This cocktail is an ideal choice for those who appreciate a drink with a kick, yet still enjoy the nuances of well-balanced flavours. Enjoy!
