Christmas is almost here but you still have time to pick up a few last minute “necessities”! Dazzle your guests this year with these refreshing Frozen Cranberry Margaritas!
If you’re looking for the perfect Holiday cocktail this is it! These Frozen Cranberry Margaritas have just the right amount of sweet and tart flavor.
I wanted to make a festive cocktail for our Christmas celebration this year and I had my heart set on Cranberry Margaritas. So I did a little searching for the perfect recipe. We had a lot of fun taste testing and getting the ingredients just right! (It was a tough job but someone had to do it!)
I definitely have a bit of a sweet tooth but Paul likes a bit more tartness. This Cranberry Margarita recipe is the perfect compromise. Just the right amount of sweet and tart flavor.
I love how pretty and inviting they look too! I used a sliced lime wedge and fresh cranberries to garnish them but you could also use Sugared Cranberries to add to the frosty look.
