Description

Margaritas aren’t strictly for summertime. Try this cranberry concoction at your next holiday gathering.

This is the best margarita I have ever had. Only change: Added a little Cointreau.

I made these for several events over the 2015 holiday season. They were a huge hit. I made a whole tub of the cranberry sauce and froze what I didnt use after the holidays were over. Looking forward to blending up another batch soon!

We served this to our Christmas Party guest and they LOVED it!

I made the cranberry jam the night before to bring to a new years eve party. We made it alcohol free as a drink alternative. It was especially nice with seltzer added.

Ingredients

¾ cup (75 g) fresh cranberries
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
¼ cup (60 ml) water
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
8 Tablespoons (120 g) cranberry jam
2 ounces (60 ml) lime juice
4 ounces (120 ml) orange juice
6 ounces (180 ml) tequila
5 cups (1.2 L) ice cubes

Directions

Bring cranberries, sugar, water, and orange juice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick with jam consistency, about 30 to 40 minutes. Mix in the zest and let cool.
Place 8 Tablespoons jam, lime juice, orange juice, tequila, and ice into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid. Select Variable 1. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High. Blend for 35 to 45 seconds or until desired consistency is reached.
