1
Cook the Cranberries
In a saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
2
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.
3
Cool the Compote
Remove from heat and let the cranberry compote cool completely before using.

4
Prepare the Glass
If desired, rim a cocktail glass with salt by running a lime wedge along the rim and dipping it into a plate of salt.
5
Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of blanco tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of the prepared cranberry compote.
6
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
7
Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
