Make Merry With This Rudolph Margarita
Add some island flair to your holiday party! This Rudolph Margarita is as tasty as it is cute! A Christmas cocktail is one of the best Creative Christmas Ideas you can use for your holiday party.
All the reindeer might have laughed at Rudolph’s red nose, but your guests will love your cocktail! These cute little reindeer margaritas are the perfect Christmas drink.
When you garnish the margarita with a floating cranberry and two green sprigs of rosemary, your drink looks just like Rudolph – it’s so cute!
Margaritas aren’t just for Cinco de Mayo – you can dress them up for your winter holiday parties, too!
The colors aren’t the only festive thing about these drinks. They taste like Christmas and New Year’s Eve – all rolled into one.
Rudolph Margaritas Ingredients
These bright and tasty margaritas are flavored with white cranberry juice, giving them the perfect Christmas flair.
Here’s a quick summary of what I used and why I used it to make my Rudolph Margaritas. All of the exact amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Tequila: This is what makes it a margarita! Use your favorite brand – I prefer Jose Cuervo.
- White Cranberry Juice: This sweetens the drink and gives it some holiday spirit, without changing the color of the drink.
- Coarse Salt: You’ll need salt to add around the rim of your glass.
- Lime Slice: You’ll use fresh lime to add flavor to the rim of the glass.
- Rosemary Sprigs: These fresh herbs look like reindeer antlers in the margarita.
- Ice Cubes: A margarita is a frozen mixed drink, so you’ll need some ice.
- Cranberry: A whole cranberry looks just like Rudolph’s nose!
That’s it! When you combine these simple ingredients, they make a tart but sweet margarita that actually resembles a reindeer.
You’ll be so ready to show this fun drink off!

Here is what I used to make this cute margarita.
I didn’t blend my margarita. I just added the ice to the glass and poured the ingredients in. If you want the ingredients to mix better, or if you prefer the slushy consistency, then add everything (except the garnishes) to a blender first.
Either way, this is a delicious and cute winter margarita!
