Cranberry margarita ornament cocktail

A delicious classic margarita flavored with tart, 100% cranberry juice and sweetened with 100% pure maple syrup. I used cinnamon on the rim (no sugar) and all this combined gives this margarita a crazy, very tasty depth of flavor and it’s loaded with vitamins and antioxidants! What could be better? Serving this drink in an ornament! It’s the perfect holiday cocktail!

I love these ornament cocktails so much. They are just the cutest little things. In case you missed it, I made a cosmopolitan ornament cocktail last year. You can find it here.

I’ve seen clear ornaments everywhere this year. I got mine 2 or 3 years ago at the Dollartree. I also found these little funnels at the Dollartree too. It makes filling the ornaments so easy.

After you mix the margarita just put the funnel in the ornament and strain it right in. Also I recommend you use a muffin tin to hold the ornaments.

You can serve the ornaments in the muffin tin with a straw. I’d recommend keeping them refrigerated until you serve them. Or you can serve the ornament sitting in a glass rimmed with cinnamon and just add ice to the glass when you are ready to drink them and pour the ornament into the ice filled cinnamon rimmed glass.

Serve them with a straw.

Or pour them into an ice filled, cinnamon rimmed glass.

Cranberry margarita ornament cocktail

(serves 1-2 depending on size of your ornament and/or glass)

2 ounces gold tequila

1 ounce triple sec

juice of half a lime

1 1/2 ounces 100% pure cranberry juice

1 teaspoon 100% pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon cinnamon for the rim (if you are serving the drink in a glass)

Rub the lime around the outside of your glass. Place cinnamon on a plate and dip rim of glass into the cinnamon. Set aside.

In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, cranberry juice, and maple syrup. Shake well. Place a funnel in the ornament and strain the margarita into the funnel and into the ornament.

*As a side note, you can use cranberry juice cocktail in this recipe and just omit the maple syrup.

Enjoy!
