Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass Rim a margarita glass with sugar or salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim and dip it into sugar or salt for a festive touch.

Step 2: Mix the Margarita In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, lime juice, and ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and blend the ingredients.

Step 3: Pour and Layer Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice. Strain the margarita mixture into the glass. Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of a spoon so it sinks to the bottom, creating the signature sunrise effect.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve Garnish your Christmas Sunrise Margarita with sugared cranberries and a lime slice for a festive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
