I love a margarita ALL year round, and this Christmas Margarita is a fun and festive twist for the holiday. This cocktail is fruity, tart, and full of flavor!

Ingredients

Cranberry Juice - I like to use 100% cranberry juice with no sugar added for this recipe and then I can control the amount of sugar by adding more or less simple syrup so that I don’t over sweeten it. I like my margaraitas on the tart side but you can make them to your taste.

Cinnamon Simple Syrup - I’ve been using my homemade cinnamon simple syrup a ton this fall, and I thought it would work perfectly for these Christmas Margaritas too.
