Making the Cranberry Fennel Margaritas

To make these super easy and delicious margaritas, you will need:

A batch of my quick and easy fennel simple syrup. Use it to make a bunch of margs or save some back and make my Fennel Grapefruit Vodka Fizz!
4 oz good silver tequila.
Some unsweetened cranberry juice. Opt for unsweetened- the sugary stuff will be too much with the simple syrup.
The juice of 2 limes.
Fresh cranberries and fennel fronds, for garnish.

To make the cocktails, you’ll first need to make a quick batch of my fennel simple syrup. To make the syrup, all you need to do is add equal parts sugar and water to a small saucepan with some fennel seeds Bring everything to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Cool it, strain it, and save it in the fridge in a jar or airtight container until you’re ready to make the margaritas!

Let’s make some margaritas!

Once your syrup is ready, it’s time to make some margaritas! Add some of the syrup to a cocktail shaker or mason jar with the cranberry juice, tequila and lime. Shake well, and pour over ice.
