Cranberry Margarita Recipe
Hello, my name is Lauren and I love margaritas.
If there is a margarita in my hand and tacos on my plate, I am a happy, happy girl. Add some sand beneath my feet and I might get confused and think I’ve transcended the Earthly world straight into Heaven.
So, I needed a way to make margaritas appropriate for the constant barrage of snow we are experiencing here in Maine.
Well, your girl is nothing if not resourceful. While stuck inside during a particularly nasty storm, I found myself longing for a beautiful cocktail to sip while watching that white stuff fall from the sky.
I had on hand tequila and left over cranberry juice from my Poinsettia recipe post and ah-ha! A cranberry margarita! It was a true eureka moment. I’m sure that someone has done it before but this is my take on it. If cranberry is not your thing, no worries. I’ve got you with my classic margarita here!
