How to Make the Sugared Cranberries

The sugared cranberries are not a must! It’s just a fun way to decorate the drink. If you want to see how to make sugared cranberries make sure to check out my full proof way HERE.

Tips for Making Mistletoe Margarita:

1. Use good tequila. Nobody wants to be hungover with a nasty headache because you sipped the bad stuff. I recommend Milagro tequila. It’s a blue bottle and you can find it at most liquor stores and it’s not terribly expensive. 
2. When blending the margarita try doing it in batches. Most blenders can handle the ice, but I’ve found that when you add too much ice it doesn’t get that sexy, silky texture. 
3. If you want to add some splash to the margarita, adding ginger ale would be delicious! 
4. If you would rather do over the rocks vs frozen margarita you can do that as well. Simply mix all cranberry juice, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice and then pour over a glass filled with ice

Can these Mistletoe Margaritas be made ahead of time?

Yes! I would mix the liquid part together and keep it in the fridge before either serving over ice or blending the mixture! 

Best time to serve these Mistletoe Margaritas? 

Anytime you are in a festive mood! You can actually serve these year round without the sugared cranberries. These would be amazing during Cinco de Mayo!
