Winter Spiced Margarita
I actually enjoy cocktails in the winter more than any other time of the year, and anything that can be considered a festive cocktail is at the top of my list. This winter spiced margarita is a fun and tasty drink with that kick of festive flavor. It’s super easy to make and can be made in any amount you want. The color change looks impressive and the drink can be garnished in a variety of ways. It’s a great drink for holiday parties or a quiet evening by the Christmas tree.
