This takes the classic margarita and adds a hint of holiday and color with the cranberry juice. You can add more or less to your liking but add some sugared cranberries to impress! You can skip all of the work of a margarita if you want by using our Lush Margarita Mix and add a splash of cranberry (use Joyous white Sparkling wine for the AF version).
Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Blend cranberry juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and simple syrup together in a blender with ice (add 1 cup of ice at a time to avoid diluting)
2. Wet the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and dip into the margarita salt or sugar to trim your glass.
3. Pour your blended margarita into your prepared glass and garnish with sugared cranberries (recipe below).
*Note- for a margarita on the rocks, blend all the ingredients together in a shaker with ice and strain into a prepared glass with ice, garnish with sugared cranberries.
