A BLONDE VINTAGE

I’m always looking for an excuse to make a yummy cocktail and the upcoming holidays seem like the perfect occasion! I mean.. we all gotta survive somehow right?! Now you all probably remember this Scratch Margarita Recipe I posted on National Tequila Day… well, last year I took that recipe and put a fun little spin on it using some extra cranberry relish I had made for Thanksgiving Dinner. It turned out amazing and was a huge hit with the family.  See below for the best fresh cranberry margarita recipe! Cheers!
