OK, so normally my sacred mother does not give me recipes for drinks, since she herself does not drink - EVER. Which is funny, because she just doesn't, and she complains to me that when she goes to parties and the like, people ask her if she would like a drink, she says no, and (her words) 'everyone thinks I'm some old recovering drunk or a religious freak that is going to come by with 'The Watchtower' tomorrow'. Anyhoo, Mama called me last year and tells me she has a recipe for me, and imagine my surprise when it is for Cranberry Margaritas. She thought it would be a fun drink to have when we have our guests at the various holiday parties we throw. So I forced James to make them for Renee and I last Thanksgiving. We have since renamed them James' Famous Life-Sucking Cranberry Margaritas, since he bitches so much about how long it takes to make them. They are worth every moment that they shave off your life.
James' Famous Life-Sucking Cranberry Margaritas
In a microwave safe cup (read coffee mug) put 3 measures cranberry juice, 1/4 measure of honey and a pinch of salt. Heat just enough so the honey melts. In a shaker filled with ice, combine 1.5 measures of tequila, 1/2 measure triple sec and the cranberry mixture. Shake well and strain into margarita glass or BIG martini glass.
In retrospect, perhaps it is the sheer number of times Renee and I made him make us 'just one more' that James felt was sucking the life out of him. At any rate, this is one delightful festive! Enjoy, try it and let me know what you think!
