Cape Cod Margaritas
These Cape Cod Margaritas are inspired by the same margarita at the Chatham Squire - made with the Cape Cod staple of cranberry juice!

Calories 163kcal
Ingredients
- 2.5 oz Tequila
- 1 oz Cointreau or other orange liqueur
- 1 oz Freshly-Squeezed Lime Juice it MUST be fresh
- 2 oz Cranberry Juice
- 0.5 oz Simple Syrup
- Frozen Cranberries for garnish
- Lime Wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except the garnishes to a cocktail shaker, then add ice. Shake vigorously for 45-60 seconds.
- Fill up two glasses to the brim with ice. Pour over the margarita mixture evenly into both glasses
- Garnish the glasses with frozen cranberries and lime wedges, if you'd like.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- To make simple syrup, combine even parts water and sugar to a saucepan, and simmer on low heat until all of the sugar is melted. For example, you can use 1/4 cup each water and sugar.
- I like Ocean Spray's Diet Cranberry Juice because it has zero added sugar!
- I highly recommend using a cocktail jigger to measure the ingredients. However, if you don’t have one, here are the liquid conversions:
-
- 1 oz = approx. 2 tablespoons
- 1 1/2 oz = approx. 3 tablespoons
- 2 oz = 1/4 cup
- 3 oz = approx. 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon
- 4 oz = approx. 1/2 cup
