Cranberry Paloma Cocktail

We made these cranberry palomas for New Years Eve, after the Christmas punch the week before that I wasn't a fan of I liked this one wayyy more.  Not too sweet and nice flavor, some of us did vodka instead of tequila and those were great as well.  The recipe calls for a sugared rim and fresh grapefruit and cranberries but we skipped that it was still great. I'll give you the actual recipe I found at delish, I forgot to take a pic but you can pretty much imagine what this will look like - pale cranberry colored cocktail over ice. It would look prettier with the fresh grapefruit twist and cranberries, but we didn't feel like we missed much and saved time sugaring the rim and cutting up fruit... I probably should have planned better and did the prep work beforehand so they'd be prettier, but I waited until I was mid-cooking to remember we had cocktails hahah.
