Festive Christmas Margarita Recipe
After a million cookie recipe (ok it seems that way to me) and breakfast casserole recipes, I thought I change it up a bit and give you another festive recipe. A cocktail! Because, goodness, don’t we need a cocktail, or two, this time of year!
Although this cranberry margarita is a great addition to your Thanksgiving or Christmas menu, it’s good all year.
Actually, I think the addition of tart cranberry juice is the perfect complement to a basic margarita. And, doesn’t it look bright and cheery?
Mix it up!
There are a couple of ways you can change this recipe up. Cranberry juice or pomegranate juice can be used. I’ve tried them both and they’re both good. In fact, depending on the brands you get, they taste very similar.
Of course, you can always adjust the ratios. I tend to like more lime and less orange liqueur than most people. Therefore, alter it to your tastes.
Finally, I like to add some fizz to my margaritas. I like to add diet tonic or diet club soda. Alternately, you can add the regular version of those.
For the garnish
This is the fun part. Make it pretty! You can garnish the glass with salt or sugar. As well, add a lime and/or orange wedge or wheel to the glass or the rim. If you use cranberry juice, add fresh cranberries to the glass or to a wooden pick. Cheers!🍹
