White Christmas Margarita

Our perfectly blended White Christmas Margarita combines cream of coconut and silver tequila to create a creamy holiday cocktail!

Seasonal drinks are a big thing in our kitchen. We’ve shared an eggnog martini and a snickerdoodle martini. We also have Thanksgiving drinks like a pumpkin martini and Valentine’s cocktails like our raspberry martini.

Today, Kim has prepared a special holiday margarita that I’m sure you’ll adore. It an icy twist on a Summertime favorite made with the flavors of coconut and lime.

When it’s properly garnished with lime and cranberries, the drink is both eye catching and delicious.

Tips

• I don’t recommend making these Winter margaritas in advance. Once the ice starts to melt, they may separate.
• Rimming the glasses is an optional step, so don’t feel like you have to do it.
• Don’t buy cheap tequila. It’s a liquor that can be harsh to some people; especially, if it’s bottom shelf.
