Note: I was sent bottles of OCEAN SPRAY CRAN•TROPICAL™ CRANBERRY TROPICAL JUICE DRINK in order to make this post. Opinions are mine alone.
Outdoor summer events call for fun cocktails, don’t you think? And this oh so pretty (and tasty) Tropical Margarita from Ocean Spray is sure to become one of your favorites outdoor sips!
This spin on a traditional margarita uses Ocean Spray’s Cran-Tropical Cranberry Tropical Juice Drink to add the delicious flavors of cranberry, mango, guava, and orange.
The result is a super refreshing and summery drink you’ll enjoy all season!
Ingredients (makes one serving, multiply as needed):
- 1 lime, sliced into wedges
- salt or sugar, for garnish
- 2 1/2 ounces Ocean Spray® Cran∙Tropical™ Juice Drink
- 1 ounce tequila
- 1/2 ounce triple sec
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
Slice your lime into wedges and rub the rim of a glass with the lime wedge.
Add a few tablespoons salt or sugar to a plate, then invert the lime-rimed glass and dip into the salt or sugar.
Fill the glass with ice and set aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Squeeze the juice from the lime wedges into the shaker.
Add in the Ocean Spray® Cran∙Tropical™ Juice Drink.
Follow with the tequila and triple sec.
Finish with the agave nectar.
Shake until thoroughly chilled, then strain into your prepared glass.
I absolutely love the color of this drink!
The flavors of the Cran-Tropical Juice are well balanced and are seriously tasty with the tequila, triple sec, and lime.
