Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cranberry juice cocktail
  • 1 ½ cups blanco tequila
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • ½ cup fresh whole cranberries for garnish or "ice", optional
  • Additional lime wedges and rosemary sprigs for garnish, optional
  • Salt or sugar for rims optional

Instructions
 

  • Optional pre-step: add the fresh whole cranberries in the freezer and freeze until very firm and frosty.
  • Add the cranberry juice cocktail, tequila, and lime juice to a pitcher that can hold at least 52 ounces (12 cups or about ½ gallon) comfortably. Stir well. Add the ice or frozen cranberries to the pitcher if serving immediately. If not, chill in fridge and add ice or cranberries just prior to serving.
  • Serve cocktails with salt rims and additional lime wedges, fresh cranberries, and sprigs of rosemary.

Notes

Instead of salt, you can try using sugar or a 50/50 mix of sugar and salt for the rims.
