Recipe for a Christmas Cocktail

A great recipe for a Christmas cocktail and a collage. The recipe I’ve found on howsweeteats.

White christmas margaritas

yield: serves about 6

total time: 20 minutes

ingredients:

10 ounces silver tequila 8 ounces grand marnier 8 ounces lime juice 8 ounces coconut water 8 ounces canned coconut milk 6 ounces coconut cream 6 ounces coconut rum 6 ounces simple syrup 1 teaspoon coconut extract, if desired for garnish: sprigs of rosemary and fresh cranberries

directions:

Mix all ingredients together well – I find that for a large scale drink like this with something creamy (the coconut), it works best to make it in a large measuring glass or bowl and whisk it all together as opposed to shaking it. If desired, you can add 1 to 2 teaspoons of coconut extract for more islandy coconut flavor! Taste and add more syrup if you’d like more sweetness.

Note: to make the simple syrup, combined equal parts sugar and water (like 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water) in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
