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!

this looks delicious. is it in the current issue - I just bought it.
okay, let's all have a margarita christmas season, how 'bout it? we can do a margarita party on the night of the Eden State Park Christmas tour (just before we head over for the tour - jenny you guys are going to have to do this along with SJ, Jfunn, Punzy, and any locals and/or sowal visitors in town). I don't know the date yet though.

Do they welcome a group that has been sucking down margaritas? Or do they hope that tequila will make us sing Christmas carols?

Tootsie, that's a magnificent idea.
And I have the feeling that we'll all have lots of cranberries to contribute to the margarita making (best use of cranberries I've ever seen :roll: ).Don't forget about the Christmas Illumination at DeFuniak Springs, too. That's incredible to see~

There is a very long, steep staircase in that house. Please don't fall!

Thanks for the heads up so we don't go heads down!

this sounds like funn!!! we could rent a limo to drive us to Defuniak and drink on the way there and back!!!:clap_1:

You talking about my stairway? Actually, the rise-to-run ratio is perfect for a stairway. It's not steep at all, but, hey, three stories is three stories. Margaritas, yes. Martinis, no. I can't navigate it after Caf? Thirty-A martinis. Mermy and Miss Kitty have heard that story.
