Mistletoe Margarita
The original Frosted Mistletoe Margarita recipe comes from Half Baked Harvest. My nephew Tim made a few adjustments before making it for us on Christmas Eve.
Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cups silver tequila (Patron Silver)
• 2 cups cranberry juice
• 3/4 cup Cointreau (orange liquor)
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• zest from 2 tangelos
• 3-4 cups ice
• rosemary and sugared cranberries, for serving
Instructions:
1. Combine the sugar and salt on a shallow plate. Rim each glass in salted sugar.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the tequila, cranberry juice, orange liquor, lime juice, and honey. Add the ice and stir until well-combined. Add the orange zest and stir in as well. Pour over into your prepared glasses.
Garnish with rosemary and sugared cranberries (see recipe below)
SUGARED CRANBERRIES
