Mistletoe Margarita

I scored an amazing pile magazines while hitting garage sales with my mother this past weekend.  There were two stacks of random holiday magazines all tied together with string.  As I'm going thru them today I found a recipe in Family Circle for a drink that sounds like it would be really good.  I host a big Christmas Open House every year to show off all the trees.  For the last couple of years I've served a holiday cocktail.  I'm going to have to try this one and see if it's in the running for this year's drink.



Mistletoe Margarita
1 ounce Tequila
1/2 ounce Cointreau
1/2 ounce Wild Hibiscus Syrup (www.wildhibiscus.com)
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

Directions: Shake all ingredients very well in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Garnish: 3 cranberries and a mint sprig (to give it that mistletoe look) and an optional salt rim

I dislike salt so I'll likely try it with sugar instead...CHEERS!!!
