Margaritas aren’t just for summer!
Oh no…Margaritas can be turned upside down, shaken, mixed and salted into a whole different flavor profile. Whatever your margarita lovin heart desires. With winter in full force and my longing for summer just as strong, I thought margaritas on a Sunday would bring a little flavor to the day and some cheer against the cold. This is one of my new favorite drink concoctions (like I’m not already obsessed enough with margaritas); Cranberry and Lime Margaritas. The cranberries and lime add a perfect tartness to counteract the sweet orange liqueur and the colors bring back the happy feelings from these past Holidays. Lets get started!!
INGREDIENTS::
3 cups cranberries
1 cup water
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup agave
3 cups cranberry juice cocktail
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
1 1/2 cups Tequila
1 cup orange liqueur – Triple Sec
Ice
Extra cranberries for decor
INSTRUCTIONS::
1. Put on your Sunday Funday sweater shirt, (if it’s not already on) because these deserve to be drank in Sunday Funday fashion.
2. In a large pot bring cranberries, water, lemon juice and agave to a boil until all the cranberries have swelled and burst. Then blend them.
3. Put the cranberry mixture through a strainer twice to make sure you only get the juice and no chunks!
4. Combine homemade cranberry juice, cranberry juice cocktail, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. Add ice and pour into a salt rimmed glass.
5. Garnish with extra cranberries and slices of lime and ENJOY!
Winter margaritas my loves
