Sarina's New Favorite Cranberry Margarita

Hi all!

This past November I went to Houston, TX, to give a talk at a conference called the Romance Author Mastermind, or RAM for short. The conference was thrown by Skye Warren (with the help of a great many people) and they did an amazing job. I got to see a whole bunch of my friends and colleagues, including Sierra Simone, Nana Malone, Corinne Michaels, Roan Parrish, Dylan Allen, Lucy Lennox and many more!

I extraverted hard, friends. Be proud. And on the first night they served a cranberry margarita at the welcoming ceremonies. Yum! This was the cocktail I didn’t know I needed in my life. Acidic, fruity things are my catnip.

So I have made these quite a few times since then.

This recipe is super simple, and does not require great mixology skills. This is a lazy girl’s cocktail.

Nana Malone, Me, Sierra Simone!
