Sharing is caring!

Welcome to 2019, wow that feels weird to type. Ya’ll know I am poolside and most likely we have had a Margarita or two or even three.  Just to let you know I still love ya all I decided to share a holiday treat.  How about a Cranberry Margarita for the Holiday Season?  Sound like a plan? The perfect way to start the 2019 Blog year with a fresh cocktail and a day in the sun.

Festive Cranberry Margaritas

 Traditionally, margaritas are considered a warm weather drink, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy this delicious and popular cocktail all year long! This holiday-friendly version lends a festive twist with its bright splash of color and a fun, seasonal garnish.

 What you need for a Festive Cranberry Margarita

The ingredients are pretty basic:

3 oz. tequila
2 oz. Cointreau (or other orange liqueur)
2 oz. cranberry juice
3 T. fresh lime juice

Garnish:

rosemary sprigs,
cranberries
fresh lime wedges

How you Mix a Margarita 

1)To make cranberry sprig garnish, carefully thread 3  cranberries onto tough rosemary stems. Set aside.

2)Fill cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, Cointreau, and both juices.

3)Shake well and strain into ice-filled glasses.

4)Garnish with rosemary sprigs and lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
