Sun Burn Margarita Recipe

1. Rim the glass

Run the lime wedge around the edge of a rocks or margarita glass to moisten. Spread the coarse salt or Tajín on a small plate and dip the rim into it to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

2. Combine ingredients

Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice. Add 2 oz Cuervo Gold tequila, 1 oz Triple Sec, 2 oz cranberry juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (omit if you prefer a tarter drink).

3. Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.

4. Strain

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice if desired. Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over the ice.

5. Garnish the drink with a lime wheel on the rim and, if using, drop 1–2 fresh cranberries or an orange twist into the drink. Serve immediately.
