Thirsty Thursdays: Flirty Fiesta Margarita

April 24, 2014

This cranberry raspberry margarita is a refreshing change from the classic lime margarita.  This recipe substitutes triple sec with orange liqueur which gives this cocktail a more pronounced citrus flavor.

Flirty Fiesta Margarita

1 part Sauza® Blue Silver 100% Agave Tequila
½ part DeKuyper® 03 Premium Orange Liqueur
3 parts cran-raspberry juice
1½ parts lemon-lime soda
1 part sanding salt
1 lime wedge (for garnish)

Run a lime wedge around half the lip of a glass and dip in sanding sugar to rim. Combine all ingredients in a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.
