One of my favorite cocktail projects to date was helping create the drink menu for a Christmas pop-up bar here in Atlanta. The theme for the cocktail list was “favorite holiday movies,” so the tipples were to have fun names and to feel like a taste of the movies they were from. And given the outrageous, over-the-top décor of the bar, the drinks needed to be a bit extra as well while also tasting delicious!

I had a blast working on that cocktail list, and the final recipes are ones that I’ll most definitely revisit during the holiday season for years to come! This Cranberry Margarita is one of them, with the fun name coupled with the yummy seasonal twist and a hint of savory from the thyme taking your average Marg to a whole new level.

Now, name that movie!
