A solid Margarita variation, with the Cranberry Juice adding a nice tartness with the sharpness of the Reposado Tequila and the Grand Marnier, which next time I decide to make this, I might add 1 dash of Angostura Bitters and take John’s suggestion and swap some of the Sugar Syrup for some Grenadine

Nice variation of a Margarita. Cranberry adds a different flavor profile. Will add to repertoire.

Good drink. The slight raspiness of the cranberry juice cocktail plays very well with the oaky tones of the reposado and Grand Marnier. The colour is lovely also

What a great drink. It is a lot stronger than it appears. We did substitute a little grenadine for the sugar syrup to give it more colour and an additional flavour. Does drink every easily. Could be dangerous.
