For this week’s Thirsty Thursday theme, we went with… CRANBERRY! Just this week I spotted fresh cranberries at my grocery store so it’s perfect timing.
This Frozen Cranberry Margarita is a great recipe for Thanksgiving or even the day after Thanksgiving because it uses canned cranberry sauce! Weird, right? So if you’re left with an extra can of the stuff, you can definitely do something besides cover a turkey sandwich with it.
Between all the tequila and the tart cranberry sauce, this drink has quite a kick. In a good way! Those frozen margarita mixes can be way sweet so those two together keep the drink from hurting your teeth.

This sounds so good. I love cranberry but would never thing to put it in a margarita. Love this!

I am excited that it’s getting to be cranberry season (although I havent spotted them at my local grocery store just yet). Tequila + cranberries are one of my favorite combinations! Somehow the tart cranberry magically cuts the power of the tequila perfectly :)

I’m so intrigued that this uses cranberry sauce! Best use of leftovers ever? Quite possibly :)
