Get into the Christmas spirit with this easy White Christmas Margarita recipe! This festive co*cktail makes a perfect holiday beverage that everyone will love. Full of cranberry, lime, and coconut flavors, this drink is crisp, creamy, and totally refreshing!
This really is the best Christmas co*cktail or mocktail for a party or gathering this holiday season. Make a pitcher or an individual drink with a few simple ingredients, then top with rosemary sprigs, sugared cranberries, and a lime wedge for a beautiful and delicious beverage. This creamy coconut margarita is the perfect holiday co*cktail!
Ingredient Notes
- coconut water
- coconut milk: Use a can of unsweetened coconut milk or coconut cream and add some water.
- non-alcoholic tequila: or Blanco tequila for the co*cktail version. Gold tequila also works, if that’s what you have on hand. If desired, you could add a splash of coconut rum as well.
- coconut syrup: I prefer sugar-free. You can also swap this for simple syrup or agave syrup. I don’t recommend using cream of coconut as it’s incredibly sweet and full of sugar. It’s better to use coconut milk and adjust the sweetness to taste.
- fresh lime juice
- fresh cranberries and a rosemary garnish
- crushed Ice
- Olipop lemon-lime soda: Or sparkling water.
- Coarse salt or sugar: To add a little bit of salt or sugar to the rim of the glass.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add all of the mocktail/co*cktail ingredients except for the garnish and Olipop to a co*cktail shaker and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
- Add crushed ice to a 12 oz. glass and pour the shaken drink over the ice. Leave a little room at the top and add a splash of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water of choice.
- Garnish with cranberries, fresh rosemary sprig, and a lime wedge if desired. Enjoy!
Mac’s Pro Tips
Expert Tips
- If you are not dairy-free, feel free to substitute heavy cream for the coconut milk.
- If you don’t have coconut syrup, substitute simple syrup.
- Use crushed ice. It really is a game-changer for this co*cktail. I love going to Sonic and buying a bag of their crushed ice for $2. If you don’t have a Sonic nearby, add some ice to a bag and use a meat mallet to crush up the ice.
- The best Non-Alcoholic Tequilas are Ritual and Free Spirits. Use their silver tequila or blanco options.
- Pitcher Recipe: To make a large batch of these white Christmas margaritas, follow this recipe here (serves 8).
- 4 cup coconut water
- 4 cup coconut milk canned unsweetened
- 8 oz. non-alcoholic tequila or regular tequila for co*cktail
- 16 tsp coconut syrup sugar-free
- 8 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Cranberries & Rosemary twigs for garnish
- Crushed Ice
- Top each drink with Olipop lemon-lime soda or sparkling water.
Serving Tips
Serve with a salt or sugar rim if desired. To rim your margarita glass, rub a lime wedge around the rim of an empty glass, then dip it into a shallow plate of coarse salt or sugar (for extra sweetness!). Then, fill the glass with ice and the contents of the holiday margarita.
Roll the cranberries in lime juice and sugar for a pretty garnish, or make my candied cranberries recipe to make an even more festive co*cktail.
Garnish with fresh rosemary to give this winter co*cktail a little extra holiday taste and feel.
