Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 ounces silver tequila
  • 1 ounce triple sec or Cointreau
  • 1 ounce cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)

  • 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: Granulated sugar and lime zest for rimming the glass
  • Garnish: Fresh cranberries, lime wedge, and rosemary sprig

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Glass:
    • If desired, rim the glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge and dipping it into a mixture of granulated sugar and lime zest. This adds a festive touch and a hint of sweetness.

    • In a cocktail shaker, combine the silver tequila, triple sec (or Cointreau), cream of coconut, white cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
    • Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  3. Serve:
    • Fill the prepared glass with ice and strain the margarita mixture into the glass.
    • Garnish with a few fresh cranberries, a lime wedge, and a sprig of rosemary for a festive presentation.
  4. Enjoy:
    • Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, holiday-inspired margarita.

Notes

 

  • Cream of Coconut: Ensure you use cream of coconut, which is sweetened and thicker than coconut milk. Brands like Coco Lopez are commonly available.
  • White Cranberry Juice: Using white cranberry juice maintains the snowy appearance of the cocktail and adds a subtle tartness.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare a larger batch of this cocktail by scaling up the ingredients and mixing them in a pitcher. Keep it refrigerated and stir well before serving.
