Easy Margarita Recipes

I am a margarita girl. I love easy margarita recipes. When I create cocktail recipes, one of the first things I do try is making easy margarita recipes. Then from there, I develop the cocktail.

 

Drinks With Amaretto

I love drinks with amaretto. Can a margarita recipe be made with amaretto flavor? Some Italian margaritas do have some amaretto flavor to them.

Christmas Margarita

I love creating Christmas cocktails. So I decided I need to make a Christmas margarita. I wanted to create Christmas cocktails with cherry juice rather than a cranberry juice cocktail for this Christmas margarita recipe.

Amaretto Flavor

I originally just wanted to make a cherry margarita for this Christmas margarita. A friend gave me an idea of adding amaretto flavor to this margarita recipe. She had an amaretto margarita in Vegas and thought that it would be good in cherry juice cocktails.

Holly Jolly Rita

So I took her idea of the amaretto margarita and combined it with a cherry margarita. The flavor of this Christmas cocktail was amazing! Cherry and amaretto go well together! This Christmas margarita recipe of the Holly Jolly Rita was born!

This Christmas margarita is everything I wanted. It is a margarita recipe. I got to create drinks with amaretto, and it also uses cherry juice. This Christmas drink is perfect to add to my collection of Christmas cocktails.
