Mulled Wine Margaritas – The Cookie Rookie®

These SPICED MULLED WINE MARGARITAS are so fun, festive, and unique. This favorite holiday beverage has complex flavors and warms the soul. The ultimate Christmas cocktail.

Welcome to my new favorite holiday cocktail. Warm, spicy, unique, pretty, fun; the list goes on and on! I have always loved mulled wine. It’s a staple at our house around the holiday season. It fills your home with delicious aromas and warms the soul and the body on the way down. I’ve also always loved margaritas! I’m definitely a tequila and salt kind of girl. Being that it’s always great to combine things you love…these Spiced Mulled Wine Margaritas are DIVINE and just perfect for Christmas. Snow is here and it’s time to make a pot of this fun twist on a classic!

I’m SO darn excited about my new partnership with Exotico Tequila. It’s made by one of my favorite companies, Luxco, right here in Saint Louis. I’m so proud to be representing this award winning tequila as they’re made with 100% blue agave, has a great price point that can’t be beat for the quality, and look at those amazingly cool bottles.  I used their Reposado Tequila for today’s Mulled Wine Margaritas and it was absolutely perfect. With notes of vanilla, dry fruit, and spices, it really elevated traditional mulled wine. The flavor of the tequila only added to how much I love this classic recipe!

This is the perfect cocktail for serving a crowd whether you’re chatting around a fire, wrapping gifts, or sitting down to Christmas dinner. Can you imagine a more perfect or comforting beverage? I’m obsessed.

As the weather gets colder (c’mon snow! I just bought Henry his first snow suit and I cannot wait to show you!), I hope these Mulled Wine Margaritas make an appearance in your kitchen. They’ll make your house smell like the holidays, they’ll warm your hands and your belly, and they’ll be sure to impress anyone you make them for. That’s always a bonus this time of year. I wish it was acceptable to make stovetop drinks year round because I certainly would!!

Be sure to check out where you can buy Exotico Tequila near you. It’s my new favorite and I’m quite sure it will be yours as well. Expect to see more fun tequila recipes coming your way soon! Muah.
