Frosty Citrus Margaritas! A grown up blend of tequila, Grand Marnier, orange and lime juice, coconut milk and ice. A creamy, dairy-free twist to the classic Mexican cocktail that will bring plenty of cheer!
Christmas is just 11 days away and I’m sure your holiday gatherings are kicking into high gear. With winter citrus piling in at the market, I thought a deviation from all the chocolate and peppermint beverages would be a refreshing switch.
Frosty Citrus Margaritas
Usually we think of cooling off with margaritas during those hot summer months, but this creamy, citrusy twist is perfect this time of year. They will certainly warm you up from the inside out. ?
I’ve been making the most of these satsuma mandarins while they’re around, as in my last post Orange & Honey Glazed Shrimp.
Gotta love these sweet, seedless gems and their bright flesh. Nonetheless, you can use whatever variety of orange you like!
These Frosty Citrus Margaritas come together quickly with all ingredients whipping up in a high-powered blender. All you have to do is sugar-coat the glass rims, pour, and garnish to your hearts delight.
Hope you’re safely enjoying the spirit of the holiday season. Cheers, friends!! xo
