Description
A festive and creamy White Christmas Cranberry Margarita made with tequila, cranberry juice, lime, and coconut cream. Frosty, refreshing, and perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
1/2 cup cranberry juice (white cranberry if available)
1/4 cup tequila
2 tbsp triple sec or orange liqueur
2 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp coconut cream (not coconut milk)
1–2 tbsp simple syrup, to taste
Ice
Fresh cranberries, for garnish
Lime slices, for garnish
Coarse sugar or coconut flakes for the rim (optional)
Instructions
1. Rim the glass with lime juice and dip into coarse sugar or coconut flakes.
2. Add cranberry juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, coconut cream, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until chilled and creamy.
4. Strain into an ice-filled glass.
5. Garnish with fresh cranberries and lime slices.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the holiday flair!
Notes
For a stronger coconut flavor, add 1 extra tablespoon of coconut cream.
To make a frozen version, blend all ingredients with a cup of ice.
Make it a mocktail by replacing tequila and triple sec with sparkling water.
White cranberry juice creates the signature pale holiday color but regular cranberry juice works too.
