Bright, festive Cranberry Margaritas are perfect for upcoming holiday parties!

I couldn’t let a week of cranberry recipes end without a cranberry cocktail. I love having a signature drink at brunches, dinner parties, and holiday events, and these cranberry margaritas are the perfect festive cocktail to serve at any of your upcoming winter dinner or holiday parties.

Not only are they delicious – a little sweet and a little tart, but they are beautiful, simple to make, so you can easily whip up a big batch to share!

Cranberry margaritas take less 10 minutes to make, and need only 7 ingredients. That means that you can keep filling the margarita pitcher as long as you have the ingredients and it won’t take you away from your party guests for more than a few minutes.

Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away, and Christmas is right around the corner. These cranberry margaritas would be a perfect cocktail for either of these holiday gatherings – just imagine how pretty those holiday tables will look with these cocktails on them!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
