Possible Ingredient Alternatives

White cranberry juice can be replaced with regular cranberry juice or pomegranate juice for a similar tart flavor profile. These alternatives offer comparable antioxidant benefits. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup if needed. Blanco tequila can be substituted with vodka for a milder flavor or mezcal for a smokier taste. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. Triple sec can be swapped with Cointreau or Grand Marnier for a more premium orange liqueur option. These alternatives provide a similar citrus flavor and alcohol content. For a non-alcoholic version, use orange juice concentrate mixed with water in place of triple sec. Adjust quantities to taste, as orange juice is less potent than liqueur.

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 oz white cranberry juice
  • 1 1/2 oz blanco tequila
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • Juice of half a lime (1/2 oz)
  • Salt (for rimming)
  • Fresh cranberries (for garnish)
  • Fresh sprigs of rosemary (for garnish)
  • Simple syrup (for rimming)

Step 1: Gather and Measure Ingredients

Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients: 4 1/2 oz of white cranberry juice, 1 1/2 oz of blanco tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, juice of half a lime (or approximately 1/2 oz), and salt for rimming the glass.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients in the Shaker

Measure and pour 4 1/2 oz of white cranberry juice into a shaker.

Add 1 1/2 oz of blanco tequila, followed by 1 oz of triple sec.

Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the shaker, which should be around 1/2 oz.

Fill the shaker with ice cubes for chilling the mixture.

Step 3: Shake and Chill

Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously until the mixture is well-chilled.

This usually takes about 15-20 seconds, ensuring that the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and cooled.

Step 4: Prepare the Glass

Take a rocks glass and rim the edge with simple syrup.

Dip the rim into salt to create a salted edge.

Add a small amount of ice to the glass, preparing it to receive the chilled mixture from the shaker.

Step 5: Strain and Serve

Double strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared rocks glass.

This will help avoid any ice particles from entering the drink, leaving a smooth finish.

Finally, garnish the drink with sugared cranberries and two fresh sprigs of rosemary for a festive touch.

Your White Christmas Margarita is now ready to be served.
