Ingredients
This amazing Christmas margarita drink comes together with just a few simple ingredients and is a drink that looks like winter but tastes like summer.
- Silver Tequila. Also known as Blanco tequila or white tequila. I always recommend using a tequila that is 100% agave.
- Cream of Coconut. This is different than coconut cream so make sure to double check your label.
- Triple Sec. An orange liqueur is important for a quality margarita.
- Lime Juice. Fresh lime juice works best, but you can use the bottled version if that’s all you have.
- Ice
- Sweetened coconut. For garnishing the rim of your glass.
- Limes. For garnishing
- Cranberries. For garnishing, you could use fresh or frozen.
Cream of Coconut

FAQ
The secret is in the juice, the lime juice, that is! If you can use fresh limes instead of bottled, it’s even better.
If you can’t find the cream of coconut, you could also use coconut syrup or a mixture of sweetened condensed milk with coconut extract. However, we do recommend using cream of coconut for the best outcome.
How To Serve
Serve your White Christmas Margarita in a Margarita glass or stemless rocks glass. We love the extra festive flair a garnished coconut rim adds to the drink! Prior to preparing the cocktail, dip the rim of the glass in some light corn syrup followed by rolling it in a shallow plate or bowl of shredded coconut. Pour blended margarita into prepared glass, garnish, and enjoy.

These look wonderful for the holidays!! Can I make a version that is not frozen ?? Can I serve over ice? I’d like to make a big batch to have ready for a party but not have to worry about running a blender during the party!!
Thanks!
Yeah that should work. Just make sure you mix/shake the drink really well so the cream of coconut is evenly dispersed. Hope you enjoy it!

So if you serve it over ice instead of blending do you use the same recipe just minus the cup of ice or are any adjustments necessary ? Thanks!
Same recipe, no changes needed! Enjoy!
