INGREDIENTS FOR THESE WHITE CHRISMTAS MARGARITAS

WHAT’S THE BEST TEQUILA TO USE FOR THIS COCKTAIL?
- LUNAZUL (My favorite. Super smooth and only $17)
- JOSE CUERVO
- CORAZON SINGLE ESTATE BLANCO
- CASA NOBLE CRYSTAL
- PATRÓN REPOSADO
TIPS FOR MAKING THE PERFECT WHITE CHRISTMAS MARGARITAS
- Use crushed ice. It really is a game changer for this cocktail. I love going to Sonic and buying a bag of their crushed ice for $2. If you don’t have a Sonic near by, add some ice to a bag and use a meat mallet to crush up with ice.
- Feel free to add a little simple syrup to this cocktail recipe if you want it a little sweeter. In my opinion, the white cranberry juice gives it just enough sweetness and makes it more enjoyable to drink without any additional sugar.
- Roll the cranberries in lime juice and sugar for a pretty garnish.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary to give this cocktail a little extra holiday taste and feel.

Strong, just the right amount of sweetness, & totally creative! I really enjoyed! Was a tad hard to find white cranberry juice but had success at local wal-mart.

YAY! Lisa. So happy you loved it. They have easily become my favorite winter cocktail.
Made these on Christmas Eve and very much enjoyed myself. My husband was skeptical to try because he does not like tequila. But I think the combo of the coconut milk & cranberry juice help conceal the taste of the tequila lol. I added a little simple syrup for extra sweetness (although it probably did not need it). These were a great special treat to have for the holidays – I will definitely save this recipe to use again next year!
