🎄Blender Bliss🎄
It’s the season for giving, and this is the recipe that you’ll want to share with the cocktail lovers in your life. What I like about this White Christmas Margarita?… (except for everything!) is it’s special, for sure, but not too over the top or too sweet. I love anything EVERYTHING made with coconut. But, would you have thought of coconut in your margarita? It adds just a tiny touch of creamy delish-ish-ness, but no real taste of coconut. It takes a favorite summer tipple and makes it a winter worthy margarita. Plus, if you’re having a little get together, what’s better than cocktails best made by the pitcher? Just call it blender bliss!
If you like a sweeter holiday tipple, here’s a link to one of my favorites. It’s a Peppermint-Tini Cocktail. Full of creamy, chocolate, vodka and a sweet minty rim. Here’s the link: https://wp.me/p9KEfL-1xJ
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas Margarita
Here’s the easy how-to!
Just dust off your blender, plug it in and add a few cups of ice. Add a whole can of coconut milk. I think lite coconut milk is just fine, and it’s still very creamy. If you like to hit the hard stuff, by all means, use a can of regular coconut milk. What you can’t use, is the already sweetened stuff like Coco Lopez. That’s not for this cocktail!
Prepare 6 rocks or margarita glasses. Rim with lime, then dip rims onto a shallow plate filled with coarse sanding sugar. Let the sugar set while you prepare the cocktails.
Combine coconut milk, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into prepared glasses , then garnish with lime wheels and fresh cranberries.
Feliz Navidad!
