Christmas Margarita, festive margarita made with Polish Krupnik, full of citrusy, sweet and spicy Christmas flavours, with cloves, cinnamon tequila!

It’s 4 days to Christmas and I have been a bit slow with posting this Christmas Margarita recipe! It’s been the usual mad December rush, as a self employed chef, this is the craziest time of the year for me.

I was still doing some present shopping today, after my last job of the year! No more work after today, until next year, I declined all requests and fully intend to enjoy the holidays with the family!

So, you won’t be getting a long spiel from me today, just a recipe – for the most part! You know I love my margaritas, I have a few of them on this blog, like:

  • limoncello margarita photography, yellow cocktail photography

  • Tomatillo and Jalapeño Margarita with Salt & Pepper Rim

  • Classic margarita in small tumbler, pink salt cocktail, cocktail with lime slices
    Classic Margarita

I wanted to make a margarita with some sort of Christmas spices and aroma. And when I made Krupnik, the Polish Spiced Vodka and Honey Liqueur last month (image below), I just knew I wanted to use it in the Christmas Margarita. It has the citrusy spicy aroma one associates with Christmas, and makes a delicious winter cocktail, no festivities needed!

Polish Krupnik

Krupnik is very easy to make, takes about 15 minutes, then you let it steep overnight and strain. It’s perfect to drink immediately, but also improves after a week or few. So you still have time to make the krupnik, then the Christmas margarita! You get 2 drinks for the price of one! Click here for the Krupnik recipe.

So if you fancy a new Christmas cocktail recipe, here’s the Christmas Margarita recipe, are you a fan of margaritas?

Until I see you again, have a wonderful Christmas!

    Hi Carleen, thanks for spotting that error. It’s definitely tequila! Always tequila in a margarita. As far as the honey goes, when I was making this up, I think it definitely needed the honey to balance everything out. If you are concerned it may be too sweet, hold out on the honey, and taste as you go.

    Recipe for Christmas Margarita shows tequila as one of the ingredients (2 oz.)
    The recipe directions say to mix vodka with other ingredients. Which is it?
    Vodka or Tequila?
    Also, is it necessary to add in honey since krupnik is honey-based?

    We use krupnik as a cold remedy!
    This cocktail adds a great twist on a cold elixer

    Thank you, Chef! I’ve been looking around for something different to make this holiday. I believe I’ve got everything I need to make the Krupnik, as we just got a couple of bottles of vodka. I’m getting on it today! Then the Margarita on Boxing Day for friends. Merry Christmas!
