Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass.
Dip the rim into a plate of sugar, twisting gently to coat evenly.
Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes. Crushed ice can also be used for a refreshing twist.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, cranberry juice, lime juice, and triple sec.
Add a handful of ice to the shaker.
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.
Add fresh cranberries, a lime wedge, and a sprig of rosemary or mint for a festive touch.
Serve immediately and toast to the holiday season!
