The holiday season is here, and that means it is time to get into the holiday spirit. There are many ways you can embrace this time of year. You could get gifts for family and friends; you could take photos with Santa or decorate your home with your respective holiday themes.

You could use some holiday cocktails recipes, cranberry margarita recipes, for example. Cranberries have become synonymous with the holiday season and that makes them the perfect ingredient to use in holiday cocktails of all kinds.

There are so many assorted flavors of margaritas, that’s not even including the different methods of making them. I love experimenting with new recipes and changing up ingredients is a wonderful way to do just that.

But there is an even better way, with cocktails!  Cranberry margarita recipes could help you get into or enhance your holiday spirit and you can share them with family and friends, too! Margaritas are amazing, to put things simply.

You could salt the rim, shake it up, freeze it down, we’d be willing to bet you could find one in a can somewhere. There is a margarita for every taste preference, even for those who prefer a more joyful taste. Holiday margaritas come in just as many flavors, but cranberry might be the best.

Cranberry margarita recipes capture the feeling of the holidays with their color and fall like flavor. Combined, the color and flavor of cranberry margaritas make them a great holiday party cocktail or just a way to unwind after the exhausting work of a family dinner.

But there are a few things you will need to decide upon before embarking on your cranberry cocktail adventure – frozen or on the rocks? Having so many options is great but can be daunting.

Frozen or on the Rocks

There are commonly two forms of margaritas that you can choose from. You could have a frozen margarita. A frozen margarita is like a slushie and that ties in perfectly with the season. However, it might be a little too cold outside for a frozen margarita.

The other option is just a simply shaken or stirred margarita. In fact, this is my preferred way to enjoy a margarita because the recipes are easier.
