Cranberry Pepper Margarita
This is the perfect holiday cocktail, it’s festive, colorful, and just the right mix of sweet, tart, and a little spicy. We like to dip the rims of the glasses in lime juice, then roll them in a mix of sugar and pink Himalayan salt for a pretty look and that sweet-salty kick. The Cranberry Pepper Jam blends beautifully with citrus and tequila, giving this margarita a flavor that’s as special as the season.
