Notes
Expert Tips
- If you are not dairy-free, feel free to substitute heavy cream for the coconut milk.
- If you don't have coconut syrup, substitute simple syrup.
- 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 nearby, add some ice to a bag and use a meat mallet to crush up the ice.
- The best Non-Alcoholic Tequilas are Ritual and Free Spirits. Use their silver tequila or blanco options.

Serving Tips
Serve with a salt or sugar rim if desired. To rim your margarita glass, rub a lime wedge around the rim of an empty glass, then dip into a shallow plate of coarse salt or sugar (for extra sweetness!). Then, fill the glass with ice and the contents of the holiday margarita. Roll the cranberries in lime juice and sugar for a pretty garnish or make my candied cranberries recipe to make an even more festive cocktail. Garnish with fresh rosemary to give this winter cocktail a little extra holiday taste and feel.Nutrition
