While the Margarita cocktail is more popular during the warmer months, it can easily be transformed into a truly Christmas-themed treat. The flavor will be just as tropical, and the presentation will undoubtedly captivate your guests. A splash of coconut milk will give the cocktail a wintry white color, and coconut flakes around the rim of the glass will give the drink a snowy appearance. Add ice cubes with red cranberries frozen inside, a green lime wedge, and a delightful cocktail for a Christmas-themed toast is ready!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups frozen cranberries
• 1 tbsp. tequila blanco
• 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 6 limes) + 4 lime wedges, for serving
• 6 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec

Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the cranberries in the cavities of a standard ice cube tray (12 cubes). Fill the cavities with water and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2
• In a large shaker, combine 1/2 cup tequila, 1/3 cup lime juice, 3 tablespoons orange liqueur, 1.5 tablespoons coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon superfine sugar. Fill the shaker with plain ice cubes and shake vigorously to mix well and chill the cocktail.
Step 3
• Pour corn syrup into a small shallow plate. Combine 1 tablespoon of superfine coconut sugar and 1 tablespoon of salt in another shallow plate. Dip the rim of a margarita glass (or other wide-mouthed glass) in the corn syrup, then dip the rim into the sugar mixture until it adheres to the rim. Decorate three more glasses in the same manner.
Step 4
• Pour the cocktail from a shaker into two prepared glasses. Add 3 cranberry ice cubes to each glass and garnish with a lime wedge.
Step 5
• Repeat with the remaining cocktail ingredients, pouring into the remaining two prepared glasses and adding 3 cranberry ice cubes and a lime wedge to each.
