Christina’s Christmas Margaritas Recipe

My favorite festive Christmas margaritas are the perfect addition to any of your holiday festivities! Whether you’re entertaining guests on Christmas or Christmas Eve, or are just looking to add a little fiesta to your cozy winter nights at home, these tart-and-tasty margs (made with all natural ingredients!) are sure to be a Christmas hit.

If you guys have been following me for awhile now, you know I LOVE margaritas. I’ll find any excuse to break out the blender, pretend I’m on vacation in Mexico, and whip up fresh margaritas. But, even though I love them more than anything, there’s nothing worse to me than a bad margarita made with sugary syrup and bad tequila (no, gracias.) Which is why I wanted to share my healthier margarita recipe, made seasonal for Christmas with the addition of frozen cranberries and some chic holiday garnishes!!!

What you’ll need from the store:

1 lime

Tequila (I usually go for Casamigos or Don Julio Blanco, but my absolute favorite splurge tequila is Clase Azul)

Honey (I like using raw honey, but whatever you have on hand! You can also use agave)

1 package of frozen cranberries (you won’t need the whole package)

Ice 

Rosemary for the garnish

Sugar for the rim!

Yield: 4 Margaritas

Christina's Christmas Margaritas

Total Time: 12 minutes

These festive Christmas margaritas are the perfect addition to your holiday festivities! Whether you're entertaining guests or just looking to add a little fiesta to your cozy winter nights at home, these tart and tasty margs are sure to be a Christmas hit.

Note that these margs are also delicious without alcohol for anyone pregnant or sober!!

*I recommend you taste the margaritas prior to serving, add more ice if it needs to be thicker, add more honey if you like it a bit sweeter (cranberries can be quite tart!) and add more tequila if you want an extra holiday buzz!*
