White Christmas Margarita made easy! Follow this 5-step recipe for a creamy, festive holiday cocktail that’s perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
– 2 oz silver tequila
– 1 oz coconut milk (or coconut cream for richness)
– 1 oz triple sec or Cointreau
– 1 oz fresh lime juice
– 1 tbsp simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
– 1 cup ice
– For the rim (optional):
– Lime wedge
– Shredded coconut, sugar, or crushed candy canes
Instructions
1. Prepare the Glass:
– Cut a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass to moisten it.
– Dip the rim into shredded coconut, sugar, or crushed candy canes for a festive touch.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
– In a blender, combine the tequila, coconut milk, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Blend until smooth and creamy (about 30 seconds).
3. Pour and Garnish:
– Pour the blended mixture into your prepared glass.
– Choose one of the following garnishes to complete the look: sugared cranberries, coconut-rimmed glass, rosemary sprig, dehydrated lime slices, star anise, pomegranate seeds, candy cane stick, or edible gold dust.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
– Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer if desired. Sip and savor the tropical-meets-winter magic of your White Christmas Margarita!
Notes
– Substitutions: Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut water for a lighter version. Swap triple sec with Grand Marnier for a deeper orange flavor.
– Make Ahead: Blend the cocktail up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Stir before serving. For slushy consistency, freeze the mixture in an airtight container.
– Mocktail Option: Replace tequila with coconut water or sparkling lemonade for a non-alcoholic alternative.
