Festive and Refreshing Cranberry Tequila Spritzer
You can’t say this for all seasonal holiday drinks, but this cocktail really is great for any time of the day. In fact, it’s just as strong a contender for an afternoon pick-me-up as it is for a post-turkey blues recovery drink. It has the potential to refresh your palate, while delivering a smooth, sweet and familiar holiday flavor you’ll adore.
For those of us who aren’t necessarily the biggest tequila fans, it’s worth noting that this drink does a good job of quelling some of the bite. While not everyone is a huge agave liquor fan, devotees will find a relaxing and dressed up tequila cocktail in this new holiday classic.

What Does This Cocktail Pair Well With?
Naturally, cranberry as a flavor has a longstanding history of flirting with just about anything that can make its way onto your holiday dinner plate. Whether you’re sitting down for Christmas or Thanksgiving, you’ll find it pairs sensationally well with turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing.
I always follow the cardinal rule of pairing, which is to pair like things together. Any fruity Christmas desserts will certainly be a welcome match for this bright yet slightly tart treat. The extra addition of a little bit of mint can easily be amplified by muddling before hand, giving this drink even more dimension.
How Should I Serve These Spritzers?
It’s safe to say that a tequila cocktail does its best in a short tumbler style glass. Unique heavy glasses like these make a statement, and help showcase the lavish color of these luxurious drinks.
They’re also wide enough to accommodate your desired garnish, while being comfortable enough to hold on the couch.
Cranberry Tequila Spritzer ingredients:
- 1 cup Silver Tequila
