There’s no doubt we’ll have a white Christmas here, and if you would like to give your holidays a taste of a warmer clime, mixing in a little coconut flavor can always transport you. Actress Eva Longoria is getting into the spirit and shaking up her favorite holiday cocktail recipe, complete with that coconut slant—the White Christmas Margarita—made with her luxury sipping tequila brand, Casa Del Sol. As Longoria says in her Instagram video while preparing the cocktail, “If it has the word ‘margarita’ in it, sign me up.” (Link to it here.)
Check out the recipe below, and read on for her espresso Martini made with the reposado version of her tequila, as well as more holiday cocktails featuring vodka and whiskey. Cheers!
