Delicious Mistletoe Margarita Recipe – Festive Non-Alcoholic Drink

The Mistletoe Margarita is a refreshing twist on a classic drink, perfect for holiday celebrations. This festive mocktail combines zesty lime, sweet agave, and tart cranberry for a delightful experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces of tequila (or non-alcoholic tequila alternative/agave-flavored sparkling water)
  • 1 ounce of fresh lime juice (or bottled lime juice)
  • 1 ounce of triple sec (or orange juice/non-alcoholic orange-flavored syrup)
  • 2 ounces of cranberry juice (pure or cranberry cocktail juice)
  • 0.5 ounces of agave syrup (or maple syrup/sugar syrup)
  • Salt or sugar for rimming (colored sugar or crushed candy canes for a festive twist)
  • Fresh cranberries for garnish
  • Sprig of rosemary or mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Glass: Start by rimming your glass. Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim, then dip it into salt or sugar to coat the edge.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a shaker, combine 2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, 1 ounce of triple sec (or your non-alcoholic alternative), and 2 ounces of cranberry juice.
  3. Add Sweetness: If you like your margarita a bit sweeter, add half an ounce of agave syrup or your chosen sweetener.
  4. Shake It Up: Fill the shaker with ice, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. For a twist, consider serving it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.
  6. Garnish: Top off your drink with a few fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary or mint for a festive touch.
