Cocktail of the Week: Frozen Cranberry Margarito

Yeah, it's a silly name, but it's a delicious drink. A tangy margarita with just a hint of mint flavor in the background. And the frosted rim and pink color make it perfect for Christmas parties.

Makes five cups.

1 (10-oz.) can frozen mojito mix (I had never heard of this, but it was easy to find. Most large grocery stores should have it.)
3/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Ice

Combine first 5 ingredients in a blender. Fill blender with ice to 5-cup level, and process until smooth. Serve immediately in cocktail glasses that you have rimmed with a mixture of equal parts sugar and kosher salt. For a fun garnish, spear a couple of cranberries onto a sprig of rosemary.
