You may think of margaritas as the ideal beach drink, but crafting the cocktail with cranberries can make for a delightful holiday special. 

When Rachel Gurk, owner of Rachel Cooks, shared her recipe for a cranberry margarita, we knew we had to try it. 

"Margaritas shouldn’t be only for sunny days and beaches! This fun twist on a classic margarita makes it perfect for fall and winter days," Gurk told Fox News. "Garnish with a few fresh cranberries for a super festive beverage!"
