Tequila is not just for summer beach days and sunny patios. I am bringing you 10 festive tequila cocktails that absolutely belong at your next holiday party.
From zippy ginger flavors to deep red pomegranate hues, these drinks are ready to bring the cheer.
1. Best Pomegranate Margarita
This vibrant red drink rivals the color of Rudolph’s nose. The flavors are equally bold and exciting.
I honestly want to sip on this year round because it is just that good. You get a perfect balance of salty and sweet in every single glass.
Nothing overpowers the other ingredients here. Plus, that color is just unbeatable for a party.
2. Grinch Margarita
The Grinch might lack holiday spirit, but this cocktail is overflowing with it. A few sips of this will definitely cure any grumpy moods.
It tastes absolutely scrumptious. You just toss everything into a shaker and shake it up.
Green food coloring gives it that signature bright green look. It is festive to the max.
3. Holiday Clayton Margarita
This drink gets its name from its creator and works perfectly for Thanksgiving or Christmas. You get a pop of pomegranate mixed with orange and lime notes.
The recipe uses egg whites to create a signature foam. That foam makes the texture super silky and looks like snow on top.
It is safe to consume and won’t alter the taste. You can skip the egg white if you really want to.
4. White Christmas Margaritas
Step aside, eggnog. I am all about this White Christmas margarita right now.
One sip will have you obsessed with it too. Imagine a mix between a cranberry marg and a Mexican Mule.
It looks fancy but is actually incredibly simple to throw together. Your guests will be totally impressed by your skills.
Candied ginger makes for a stunning garnish on this one. It will look incredible in photos.
5. Saint Nickarita
This festive Saint Nickarita guarantees a holly-jolly vibe at your next gathering. I bet Santa himself drinks this when he isn’t steering the sleigh.
You will want to mix up this stunning cranberry drink all season long. It is bubbly and totally delicious.
Your guests are going to fall in love with it.
6. Mistletoe Margaritas
Get ready to be amazed by this yummy margarita. Cranberry and orange flavors come together for a festive treat.
Every single sip tastes delightful. You definitely need to salt the rim for this one.
Salt makes the sweet notes pop and really dazzles the tongue. It is almost as fun as a kiss under the mistletoe.
Mix up a pitcher and enjoy.
7. Cranberry Citrus Paloma Punch
Every party needs a good punch bowl. This cranberry citrus Paloma punch is the ideal choice for your gathering.
It is a seriously delicious holiday beverage. The flavors are bright and bubbly and scream celebration.
Your guests will be talking about this recipe well past New Year’s Eve.
8. Christmas Cranberry Margarita
This cocktail embodies everything about the holidays. It brings festive colors and a great mix of tart and sweet notes.
The rosemary simple syrup is the real star here. It adds a sweet and herbaceous touch that defines the drink.
You can even swap in apple cider for a fall version.
9. Candy Cane Margarita
A holiday drink list requires something with peppermint. This candy cane margarita is the perfect way to include that flavor.
It might seem unexpected but you are going to love it. Peppermint extract and crushed candy canes provide a fresh minty kick.
You also get sweet berries and citrus in the mix. It tastes delicious.
10. Pomegranate Ginger Paloma
Let’s take a break from cranberries to enjoy some pomegranate. A standard Paloma uses grapefruit soda and tequila.
I honestly think this version tastes even better. It keeps the classic grapefruit and tequila base.
Then you add deep pomegranate fruitiness and spiced ginger beer. It is sweet and spicy and fresh.
