How much sugar should I add to a Cranberry Margarita?

Start with 1/2 oz simple syrup or 1/4 oz agave. Taste and add more if needed. Aim for a balanced tart-sweet profile.

Can I use cranberry juice cocktail instead of pure cranberry juice?

Yes. Juice cocktail is sweeter and reduces the need for added syrup. Use pure juice if you prefer a tarter drink.

Blanco tequila gives a bright, clean flavor. Reposado adds a mild oak note. Choose based on your flavor preference.
