For a sweeter margarita, add a splash of agave nectar to the shaker. To make a larger batch, simply multiply the ingredients accordingly. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for an extra festive touch. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the tequila and Cointreau with sparkling water or additional lemon-lime soda.
