Christmas Day is nearly here, so it's time to relax after finishing your Christmas shopping, with a tasty & festive (alcoholic) cocktail! This cocktail is a festive twist on a classic margarita, and is super easy to make. The recipe is for making one glass/cocktail. It doesn't contain tons of ingredients, and is great for even a cocktail making novice to make.
I hope you try to make it and really enjoy it!
Ingredients (Makes 1 Glass)
140ml / 4 Shot Glasses of Cranberry Juice
35ml / 1 Shot Glass of Fresh Lime Juice
52ml / 1.5 Shot Glasses of Tequila
17ml / 0.5 Shot Glass of Cointreau (Optional)
8.5ml / 0.25 Shot Glass of Simple Syrup

Method
1 - Rim your glass with lime juice and sugar. Cut a lime slice and place on the edge of glass.
2 - In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the cranberry juice, lime juice, tequila, cointreau and simple syrup.
3 - Add the lid and shake until the outside of the shaker is cold/frosty.
4 - Once shaken, leave to one side. Then add ice to your sugar rimmed glass.

6 - Finish with a straw and serve!
And that is my Christmas cocktail recipe! Perfect for any festive parties you are hosting during the holiday season, or even for a quite night in after Christmas shopping.
