This Christmas Margarita is always a huge hit for Holiday gatherings and so simple to make. Flavored with cranberry, pomegranate, lime and Tequila. We also share a White Christmas Margarita recipe as well!
The Best Christmas Margarita Recipe
Adult drinks are almost a must with how crazy the holidays get, with worrying about presents, family reunions, a Christmas party, etc. This Christmas margarita recipe is a combination of cranberry, pomegranate, and key lime juice. Which is then spiked with orange liqueur and gold Tequila with a salted syrup rim. A super fun twist on a classic margarita.
Ingredients Needed
- Juice: You will need a combination of cranberry (red or white cranberry juice), pomegranate, and key lime juice.
- Liquor: You will need orange liquor and Gold Tequila for this cocktail.
- Rim: You will dip the rim into simple syrup and coat it with margarita salt.
How To Make A Christmas Margarita
- Dip the rim of the glass in simple syrup, then in the salt. Put ice in the glass to fill it. Put 3-4 ice cubes into a cocktail shaker with the juices, Tequila, and orange Liquor and shake to fully incorporate.
- Add the combined mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a lime wedge if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Frozen: Turn this into a frozen margarita by adding the ingredients to a blender with ice.
- The Rim: If you don’t have simple syrup, your best bet for a substitute is honey. Replace the salt with a cinnamon sugar rim if you prefer.
- Double: or triple the ingredients if you need more than 1 glass. You can store any extra in a pitcher with a lid depending on how much you will make.
Serving a Christmas Margarita
There are a few pretty ways to make this cocktail pop! I will sometimes use frosting and sprinkles for the rim of the glass instead of simple syrup/salt. You can also add a gold cake shimmer into the mixture for a cool effect. Feel free to also use fresh fruits like orange slices to garnish. Add some sprigs of rosemary for a beautiful presentation.
