  2. Wash a sprig of fresh rosemary and 5-8 cranberries under cold water, pat dry, and set aside for garnish.
  3. In a cocktail shaker, mix 1 ounce of lime juice, 1 ounce of cream of coconut, ½ ounce of Cointreau, and 2 ounces of Tequila Blanco with ice. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
  4. Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice cubes and strain the shaken mixture gently into the glass.
  5. Drop cranberries on top of the cocktail for garnish, and lightly tap the rosemary sprig to release its fragrance before placing it as a final garnish.
