The Best Recipe for Cranberry Margaritas

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This cranberry margarita is a twist on a friend’s infamous margarita recipe that’s made for some of our best memories and some nights we don’t fully remember. The best thing about this cocktail is unlike a lot of those store bought mixes, the margarita is not super sugary and actually tastes refreshing. Add a little cranberry juice to make this a cranberry margarita and you have an absolutely winning combination. 

Maker beware, they are so so good, but these margaritas are also POTENT, as in: I made these for a friend’s bachelorette party and she blacked out before dinner was over. (Whoops!) But also, these will be some of the best margs you’ve ever had. No matter what, with this recipe for Cranberry Margaritas, you’re in for a night you won’t forget… unless you have too many and then you just might! 

The real recipe for this is 1 part lime juice, 1 part triple sec, 1 part cranberry juice and 1.5 parts tequila, but we’ve broken it down in the recipe for easy measurements.

How many limes do I need for margaritas?

As a general rule, we plan for 1 lime per drink not including garnishes. I would get a few just in case you have a few limes that aren’t very juicy. Fresh limes are 100% better than bottled so if you want to make your job easier, get a citrus squeezer. They’re inexpensive and a huge lifesaver.

Tequila

We don’t really discriminate against tequila, but I will say for this drink you’re going to want white over gold tequila. It just has a fresher flavor that pairs really nicely with the other ingredients. Typically, we get 1800 so that’s a good place to start. 

Triple Sec

There’s no need to get fancy here. I mean you CAN if you want to and get an orange liquor such as Cointreau, but usually we just get the classic, inexpensive bottle shelf triple sec and it’s perfect. 

Make Ahead

Fresh limes take a long time to squeeze and you don’t want to be doing it all night. When serving for parties, we squeeze all the limes at once and make a big pitcher of cranberry margaritas that people can serve themselves. Just serve next to a bucket of ice to keep the party going for hours.

We’re days away from meeting our little girl and if she’s anything like her parents we’re in big trouble! 

At least the room is cute.

We’re so ready for you baby girl! When we starte We’re so ready for you baby girl! When we started working in the nursery there was not a chance I thought it would be totally ready in time. Close? Sure. But finished? No way. 

We are so lucky to have so many people help us along the way (and for getting so many great deals on marketplace to bring this room together!) 

Now all we need is a little girl to use it!

Can you believe this was all done with scrap wood that we had in the garage? 

For our baby shower we asked guests to bring a book in lieu of a card and im obsessed. We have the perfect amount of new stories to fill our shelves and a million memories to make in this cozy nook.

I feel like we’ve done so much work to the house this year but when it’s almost all in one room, I’m realizing it doesn’t always look like it. 

With the nursery almost ready to go and baby girl coming any day, we can only begin to imagine the great things 2023 is going to have in store for us! 

Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks for sticking around and being a part of our story 💜

GAME CHANGER After years of making gingerbread h GAME CHANGER 

After years of making gingerbread houses and waiting the torturous overnight for the icing to dry we finally asked the question - why are we doing it this way?
 
Hot glue for the win! We saved the icing for decorating and the brownstones we’re ready for decorating immediately. 

Even Kevin who was a skeptical gingerbread traditionalist agrees… we’re never going back!

When I found this sleigh in the Target dollar sect When I found this sleigh in the Target dollar section, I knew it needed to be part of our holiday decor this year. Only problem? It needed a little something extra- queue for the stain! 

This updated sleigh is so cute and the perfect addition to our mantle. I found this pine cone filler and mini ornaments to complete the look!
