Cherry Margarita Mocktail – a refreshing and easy-to-make drink that’s perfect for the holidays or any time of the year!
Red is one of my favorite colors and Christmas is my favorite holiday. Holiday parties are the perfect time to wear and decorate with red!
Speaking of parties, my Cherry Margarita Mocktail is my signature holiday party drink. It pairs perfectly with my favorite party foods – chips and salsa. And it’s red! Make sure you check out all of my refreshing alcohol-free mocktails.
Holiday Get-Togethers
My December calendar is filled with holiday get-togethers, parties, and family dinners. And I’m looking forward to every one of them.
Festive outfits are put together (in my mind), menus are planned and magical tablescapes are created. I thrive on the hustle and bustle of the season.
But you know what I like the best? The after-party! After everyone has said their goodbyes and the door closes as the last guest departs, I kick off my shoes, pour a Cherry Margarita Mocktail, and rehash the entire party to my husband as we curl up on the sofa.
And he gives me his undivided attention and acts like my recap is the most important thing in the world. Enjoying the holiday after-party with my husband is one of my favorite things.

Cherry Margarita Mocktail
In a blender, combine frozen limeade, Cherry 7UPยฎ, cherry juice concentrate, and ice cubes. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
While the margaritas are blending, grab some white granulated sugar and place it on a plate. Cut some limes into wedges and rim the margarita glasses with lime juice.
Dip the glasses into sugar and twist a little to make sure the rims are coated with sugar.
Carefully lift the glass. Ta-da!
