White Christmas Margaritas: The recipe that means you can drink cocktails all year round

Missing summer? Then this could be your new favourite tipple

White Christmas Margaritas offer the best of both worlds

As the unofficial season of drinking, Christmas is a time for merry-making and festive drinks with friends.

But while the usual tipples – think prosecco, eggnog and mulled wine – might peak our interest for a while, sometimes all you want is a refreshing cocktail that harks back to hotter climes.

Enter a cocktail that brings you the best of both worlds; White Christmas Margaritas.

A concoction devised by foodie website Delish, the cold-weather cocktail takes everything we know and love about the traditional margarita and enhances it with the very best bits of the new season.

And, while it might be an instant holiday classic, this version is far more substantial with the addition of sweet, creamy coconut milk meaning you get to enjoy those summer flavours but with a lot more body.

So, how do you make them?

To create your very own ‘White Christmas Margarita’ simply combine coconut milk (14-oz), silver tequila (12 oz.), lime juice (1/2 c.), triple sec (8oz.), and ice (2 c.) in a blender and pulse until you’re left with a smooth, frozen brew.

Then, rim your glass of choice with a lime wedge and dip into sanding sugar for that classic margarita finish.

Pour your mixture into the glasses and garnish with lime segments and vibrant cranberries.
