Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Margarita
  1. Start by creating a cinnamon-sugar rim for your glass. Mix together cinnamon and sugar on a small plate. Wet the rim of a margarita glass with lemon juice, then dip it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine aged tequila, pomegranate juice, Grand Marnier, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Add ice halfway, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
  3. Carefully strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Pour slowly to maintain the visual appeal of the cocktail.
  4. Garnish your Christmas Margarita with candied lemon slices or fresh fruit for an extra touch of holiday cheer.
