How To Make Christmas Margaritas

Best Way To Decorate 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.

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.
