White Christmas Margarita Punch.
No need to dream of your white Christmas today.
I’ve got it in a glass!
With tequila.
Merry Christmas you filthy animal.
I’m being forced to create our own white Christmas.
Because it’s crazy warm here, as in yesterday it felt like it was 70 degrees. And all I want is snow. Because I don’t want to be knee deep in ice come April! I’m selfish and want snow now, and no snow come January 1. Universe… are you listening?
These margaritas are certainly deceiving – while there are a few floating cranberries and some rosemary for decoration, they are actually… COCONUT cream margaritas. So you can be transported to the islands for Christmas!
No but really, I didn’t want to do a white chocolate margarita or a sugar cookie margarita or something like that. It kind of made my stomach turn. I have used this coconut margarita recipe in the past, and knew it would fit the perfect white Christmas bill. It’s what I used for my red, white and blue margaritas on the 4th of July and it’s a total hit!
The thing is though, you gotta watch your décor.
Like I wouldn’t stir the margarita with the rosemary sprig or anything. In fact, I wouldn’t even drop it in. It’s purely decoration which is unlike something I’d usually do, but it’s so, so pretty and so fun for the holiday season. I couldn’t NOT do it.
So you should totally do it! You’ll totally be in the spirit and if not… just add another drink.

White Christmas Margaritas
Ingredients
- 10 ounces silver tequila
- 8 ounces grand marnier
- 8 ounces lime juice
- 8 ounces coconut water
- 8 ounces canned coconut milk
- 6 ounces coconut cream
- 6 ounces coconut rum
- 6 ounces simple syrup
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract, if desired
- for garnish: sprigs of rosemary and fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together well – I find that for a large scale drink like this with something creamy (the coconut), it works best to make it in a large measuring glass or bowl and whisk it all together as opposed to shaking it. If desired, you can add 1 to 2 teaspoons of coconut extract for more islandy coconut flavor! Taste and add more syrup if you’d like more sweetness.
- Note: to make the simple syrup, combined equal parts sugar and water (like 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water) in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely.

Those are just beautiful! I agree, doesn’t feel like Christmas here at all. I’m half okay with it/half wanting snow. But.. I do not want to have winter weather late into March or April here either. We were just at a Christmas party over the weekend where they made signature drinks that were light blue w blueberry garnish – and they tasted fruity. It kinda lightens them up rather than being a heavy drink, which so much is this time of year, esp. all the heavy carbs/heavy beers. I’m using rosemary to garnish the ends of antipasto skewers that I am making for Christmas Eve….I may just have to make a run to the local Wine & Spirits again, lol! Thanks again for all the great recipes! Merry Christmas!
These margaritas are everything! They’re so gorgeous! And I hear you on the snow, I’ll cross my fingers for you! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday! :)
OMG, we share a brain! I shared white Christmas margaritas yesterday! I made mine with white cranberry juice and lots of floating cranberries. So fun and festive. I am definitely going to have to give this coconut version a try. Sounds incredible!
a) when I first saw this post I thought it said “Christmas Morning Margarita Punch” and I got really excited and b) when I realized it didn’t, I decided it didn’t matter and I’d make it on Christmas morning anyway!
Soooo pretty!! I definitely have to create my own white Christmas around here too … it’s going to be 14 degrees Celsius tomorrow night … what the heck?!?!- that means no snow foooor sure :( annnnd it probably also means, there will still be snow in June.
These are so pretty! I have a couple of crazy coconut lovers in my life that would adore these!
I’m a much of a drinker, but the presentation is so lovely. Merry Christmas to you, Jessica! xoxo
