When you think of Christmas cocktails, a margarita isn’t necessarily the first drink that comes to mind. Unless you are a margarita fan like me! 🙂
Our Thanksgiving margaritas were a HUGE hit, so of course we knew we needed a Christmas margarita recipe too!

I know what you might be thinking…
Just because it’s got tequila in it doesn’t make it a margarita!
Au contraire! A margarita at its core is comprised of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice — all of which are in this Christmas margarita. So yep, it is a real margarita!
And anyways, it’s super festive and beautiful! And yes, it tastes fantastic!
