- 1 ½ cups blanco tequila
- ½ cup lime juice
- ½ cup fresh whole cranberries for garnish or ‘ice’, 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.
