You guyyyyyys. This is such a happy day. It’s Friday AND it’s December 2nd. The only way to celebrate?
A Cranberry Pomegranate Margarita, of course!
We’re celebrating, because I feel like every Friday should be celebrated AND it’s December, which marks the beginning of my all time favorite time of year. 🎅
Bring oooooon the Christmas music, movies, cookies, candy, and desserts, cozy soups, and holiday drinks . . . like this margarita.
Now. You might be thinking that a margarita isn’t really holiday-y, right?
But I’m telling you.
It is.
I mean look at how preeeeetty it is.
Plus, cranberry and pomegranate are totally holiday flavors.
You with me?
Either way, make and enjoy this Cranberry Pomegranate Margarita. It only requires 5 ingredients and hey – TGIF!
It’s a well known fact that Trevor and I really like our margaritas.
On Mondays, you’ll often find us at our local Tex-Mex joint (Hiiiii Lauren!) for half off top shelf margaritas <– so good. Then Friday, you’ll often find us celebrating the weekend with a little Friday Night Mexican Night complete with margaritas, of course.
We’ve officially gotten 5 of our neighbors almost as hooked on margaritas as we are. 😉
Usually, we’ll just make our Easy Margarita Recipe, but since it’s the holiday season, I wanted to make something a little more festive…
and this Cranberry Pomegranate Margarita is SUPER festive!
And super easy.
The first step is optional, but makes the margarita look really pretty: a sugar or salt rim. 🙂
Rub the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and then dip it in sugar or salt. Easy and really pretty, right?
Then you’ll fill your glass with ice.
Next you’ll pour cranberry pomegranate juice cocktail, fresh lime/lemon/orange juice, and tequila blanco over the ice.
Stir and chug sip!
Make one for yourself or make a pitcher and serve these at your holiday party!
They’re easy, they’re festive, and hellloooo they’re tasty.
A little sweet from the pomegranate, tart from the citrus and cranberry, and just so delicious, because #tequila.
Cheers, Happy Friday, and Happy Holidays!
