Notes

  • Use chilled ingredients to keep the cocktail cold without diluting it with too much ice.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, reduce the amount of 7UP or substitute with club soda.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the tequila and add additional sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
  • Fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs enhance presentation but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Adjust lemon juice quantity according to taste preference for tartness.
