White Christmas Margarita
If you are looking for a beautiful white cocktail for the holidays, this White Christmas Margarita recipe is going to be right up your alley. It has fresh lime and coconut, then we garnished with bright red cranberries, and a sprig of rosemary, too. Not only is this Christmas cocktail delicious, but it is going to present so well at your holiday party.
Why we love this cocktail-
- The lime flavor mixed with the coconut flavor makes for a deliciously light and refreshing cocktail.
- We took a classic margarita recipe and dressed it up just for the holidays.
- This creamy coconut margarita is perfect for special occasions, or just to enjoy during the holiday season.
- The white color of this cocktail reminds us of a snowy Christmas.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz. silver tequila
- 1 oz. triple sec (or other orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Mariner)
- 1 oz. fresh lime juice
- 2 oz. unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 oz. cream of coconut (use Coco Real, or add an additional ¼ oz agave syrup, or a bit of simple syrup if using a different brand that is not as sweet)
- ¼ oz. agave nectar
- 1 cup ice
- Fresh cranberries, slice of lime, and a rosemary sprig for garnish
- Coarse salt and an extra lime wedge to rim glasses
Directions:
Step 1: In a large cocktail shaker, combine coconut milk, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, coconut cream, and agave. Give the shaker a good shake to combine and chill.
Step 2: Add a shallow layer of salt to a saucer.
Step 3: Run a wedge of lime around the rim of each glass, and dip the rim of the glass into the salt.
Step 4: Pour the shaken margarita mixture into your cocktail glass. Strain, if desired.
Step 5: Add fresh cranberries, a lime slice, and a sprig of rosemary garnish.
Tips:
- If you prefer, you can do a sugar rim instead of a salted one.
- Serve this cocktail in a lowball glass or a stemless wine glass. While a margarita glass is fun, it makes us think of Summer more so than the holidays.
- We love adding a festive twist to classic cocktails. Homemade margaritas can be so easy, and delicious, and this one is perfect for your holiday gatherings.
