Instructions

Prepare the glass rim by placing sugar on a small plate. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim and one side of a highball glass, then sprinkle the sugar over the rim and side to coat.
Fill the glass with ice. Next, pour in the tequila, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix the ingredients together.
Top off the drink with ginger beer and stir gently. Add garnishes and serve immediately.

Notes

For a stronger flavor, use tequila reposado. If you prefer a lighter taste, tequila blanco works well.
Make sure to use 100% cranberry juice for the best flavor and sweetness balance.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup based on your taste preference.
