Festive Cranberry Margaritas
Why not try something new this holiday season and mix up a Cranberry Margarita? Although margaritas are usually considered a warm-weather drink, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy this tasty and popular cocktail all year round. This version of the classic drink adds a festive twist with its bright splash of color and a fun, seasonal garnish.
I enjoy margaritas all year round, but during the holiday season, my go-to margarita recipe is this Cranberry Margarita.
