A White Christmas Margarita is a festive twist on the classic margarita, combining traditional ingredients with creamy coconut flavors to evoke a snowy holiday feel. Here’s how you can make this delightful cocktail:

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Rim:
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • Zest of 1 lime
    • Lime wedge (for moistening the glass rim)
  • For the Margarita:
    • 2 ounces silver (blanco) tequila
    • 1 ounce orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau)
    • 2 ounces cream of coconut
    • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
    • 2 ounces coconut milk (full-fat for a creamier texture)
    • Ice
  • Optional Garnishes:
    • Fresh cranberries
    • Rosemary sprig
    • Lime slice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim:
    • On a small plate, combine the granulated sugar and lime zest.
    • Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it.
    • Dip the rim into the sugar-lime zest mixture to coat it evenly.
  2. Mix the Margarita:
    • In a cocktail shaker, combine the silver tequila, orange liqueur, cream of coconut, fresh lime juice, and coconut milk.
    • Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  3. Serve:
    • Fill the prepared glass with ice.
    • Strain the margarita mixture into the glass over the ice.
  4. Garnish (Optional):
    • Add a few fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for a festive touch.
    • You can also add a lime slice to the rim or float it on top of the drink.

Notes

  • Cream of Coconut: Ensure you’re using cream of coconut, which is sweetened and thicker than coconut milk. It’s commonly used in cocktails like piña coladas and adds a rich coconut flavor.
  • Coconut Milk: Using full-fat coconut milk provides a creamier texture, enhancing the “white” appearance of the margarita.
  • Adjusting Sweetness: Taste the margarita before serving. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a small amount of simple syrup or agave nectar to taste.
  • Serving a Crowd: To make a pitcher for a group, multiply the ingredient quantities by the number of servings desired. Prepare the mixture in advance and keep it chilled. Stir well before serving.
