Here's one tailor-made for the holidays, courtesy of Bon Appetit.
Cranberry Margaritas
To make the Margarita base for 12 drinks (magazine recommendations, not SoWal's), blend
1 1/4 cup premium tequila
1 1/4 cups frozen cranberry juice concentrate, thawed
1 cup canned jellied cranberry sauce
1/2 plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (this is 10 tablespoons total)
6 tablespoons orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier
in a blender until smooth. Pour out half of Margarita base into a glass measuring bowl. Set aside. To the other half add 3 1/2 cups ice cubes and blend until it's slushy; pour into salt-rimmed Margarita glasses. Garnish with cranberries.
Pour second half of Margarita mixture back into blender and repeat process, adding another 3 1/2 cups ice cubes.
Happy Holidays!
