White Cranberry Margaritas

These White Cranberry Margaritas are a festive holiday spin on the classic cocktail! Sweet and tart white cranberry juice makes these something special. Serve these up all winter long! Cheers!

We’re in the final stretch, folks. With Christmas being right around the corner, Pinterest and Google searches regarding anything holiday related are completely overwhelming. Right? Right.

Every 2 seconds a new “Must Make” list comes out pertaining to holiday goodies. It’s too much (and this is coming from someone who ADORES the holiday season and anything and everything related to it). 

Well, I’m here to simplify things for you. Because really, the only answer to your “what should I make?” questions is always this: MARGARITAS. Forever and ever. These White Cranberry Margaritas are IT this holiday season.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: margaritas are for summer. WRONG! Margaritas are for all seasons. Heck, one of the yummiest variations was one I made with mulled apple cider a couple months ago. Freaking delicious! Margaritas are for all year. I think they’re perfect for entertaining, too, because nothing screams “PARTY!” like tequila. It’s also really easy to make margaritas in bulk for a crowd, which is an added bonus.

So, today, I’m sharing a “must make” Merry Christmas margarita! It’s a straightforward and easy (!!!!) recipe that requires zero cooking. ZERO. As in, no simple syrup is needed for this recipe. Awesome, right? The reason for that is the white cranberry juice. It’s plenty sweet for my tastes, but if you want to take a little edge off your margarita mix, just add in a drizzle of agave nectar. It’s neutral in taste and plenty sweet. It’s my newest go-to ingredient for quick-and-dirty margaritas.

Not only is this cocktail delicious, but it’s also so pretty and festive!

So, Merry Margarita-mas to you and yours!

Oh yes, this is something I can definitely get behind.
