The Best White Christmas Margarita

This White Christmas Margarita Recipe will have you “rockin around the Christmas tree” for sure!

Not only does it look like Christmas in a cup, but it is incredibly smooth. (Buyer beware!) With refreshing coconut-lime flavor and festive ruby-red cranberries, this cocktail is as gorgeous as it is compulsively sip-able.

Even better? This White Christmas Margarita Recipe is made in a pitcher which allows you to be free and mingle instead of mixing drinks. As I was working on recipes for this Holiday Entertaining Series I wanted to focus on recipes that could be made in bulk, and Christmas drinks were no different.

This easy Christmas Punch for a Crowd is going to be your new go to for the holidays, I know it will be for me! I plan on making a double batch of this stuff for our annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Party! Woohoo!

What You’ll Need

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need to make this Christmas cocktail recipe. Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for specific amounts.

• Coconut Milk: You’ll want to get the full-fat coconut milk in a can. It is extra creamy and the real deal!
• Coconut Water: This is a “lighter” way to add more coconut flavor and not as many calories
• Tequila: Um, this is a must in Margaritas. I’d recommend the silver tequila because it is lighter in color and won’t turn your margarita a golden color.
• Grand Marnier: This orange flavored liquor is what gives this margarita a flavorful edge above the rest.
• Lime Juice: The fresh lime juice cuts through the creaminess of the coconut milk and water and gives you that true margarita flavor!
• Agave: I use agave in my margarita recipes instead of making a simple syrup. I find it’s lighter and not as sweet.
• Cranberries & Rosemary Sprigs: This is more for the festive colors, not as much for the taste!

Do You Use Gold or Silver Tequila for Margaritas?

I like to use silver or blanco tequila. It has a smooth taste and is a younger tequila, so it’s only been aged in the oak barrel for 2 years at most. Gold tequila is aged for much longer and has a stronger taste. Not always ideal for margaritas.

What is the Best Tequila for Margaritas?

Using a good tequila can make all the difference when it comes to making your Christmas cocktails shine! Here are the kinds of tequila that I think are best for making some really stellar margaritas:

1. Patron Silver –  It’s a great place to start when drinking tequila. It is made with agave without being too overwhelming. It’s smooth and definitely a good cocktail mixer.
2. Hornitos – This is a newer tequila to me. A friend of mine turned me on to it and I really like it. I tend to go with the resposado or the anejo for less agave forward taste.
3. Don Julio – Hands down, this one is my husbands favorite! It is smooth and won’t leave you with a headache because it’s made well.

Can I Make This in Advance?

Homemade margaritas should last between 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator if kept in an air tight container. For this White Christmas Margarita Recipe you will just need to use a whisk to mix the coconut milk back up again as it tends to separate when it sits.

I have legit made this recipe probably 5 times in the past 2 months. Granted I was testing it out the first two times, but still. It is amazing! It’s creamy, smooth, a slight tropical flavor and has a nice zing from the lime juice. Plus it looks like the holidays from the cranberries and rosemary.
