Happy Thursday! I have the most festive (and delicious) fall cocktail for you today that is incredibly EASY to make: Cranberry Margaritas!

When I got the recipe like I wanted it, I took the first sip over ice and was like, “WHOA!”. These could be dangerous if you’re not careful. Not only do they taste insanely good, they’re incredibly easy to make.

This recipe yields just a little over 4 cups, so you’ll have some to share with friends (or maybe not?).

I also added a little nutmeg and sugar to the kosher salt for rimming the glass for a more festive approach – the combination of salty, sweet and spicy took this margarita over the top! You don’t have to rim your glasses this way, but I highly recommend it!

I’m always in charge of mixing up cocktails during the holidays at my mama’s house… and I’m sure there will be a few of these consumed this holiday season!

Cheers to fall, enjoy and please drink responsibly!
