Our perfectly blended white Christmas margarita combines cream of coconut and silver tequila to create a creamy seasonal cocktail!
Seasonal drinks are a big thing in our kitchen. About a week ago, we shared an eggnog 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.
How to make a White Christmas Margarita:
- Start by running a lime wedge around the rim of the glasses.
- Pour sanding sugar into a shallow dish, and dip each glass into the sanding sugar. Set aside.
- Add 7-8 cups of ice to a blender.
- Pour in silver tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and chilled simple syrup.
- Process until smooth and no ice chunks remain.
- Pour the margaritas into prepared glasses, garnish with lime wedges and fresh cranberries, and enjoy immediately.
White Christmas Margarita Recipe 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.
