Christmas Cranberry Margarita

This drink is as delicious as it is stunning, and surprisingly easy to make. My cousin brought it to my family’s annual cook off a couple weeks ago and I knew I had to share it for the perfect Christmas Cocktail.

What you need:

⁃ Limeade… 1 bottle.

⁃ Cranberry Cocktail… 1 bottle

⁃ Silver Tequila

⁃ Grand Marnier

⁃ Limes

⁃ Fresh Cranberries

⁃ White Granulated Sugar

How to make it:

1. In a large pitcher, combine equal parts of cold limeade and cranberry Cocktail to create the base.

2. Do not add ice to the pitcher as it will dilute the mix and alcohol ratio when the ice melts.

3. Tequila time! You can either add it to individual drinks as people serve, or pour in about 1/3 tequila compared to the amount of mixer.

4. Add a cup of fresh cranberries to float in the pitcher for a decorative garnish.

5. Pour about 1/2 cup of sugar into a plate or bowl and about 1/4 cup of Grand Marnier into a dish for the margarita rim.

6. To serve, dip the rim of a large wine glass or margarita glass in a dish with Grand Marnier and then dip into a dish with granulated sugar.

7. Shake off excess sugar.

8. Add ice to the glass and pour in margarita and make sure to get cranberries in the glass.

9. Option to serve with a floater of Grand Marnier on top or serve as is!

Enjoy responsibly! These are very delicious and you don’t taste the alcohol very much so it’s easy to go from holly jolly to hangover real quick!
