This Virgin Cranberry Margaritas recipe is the perfect flavored margarita recipe without alcohol! I love making these for the holidays when cranberries are everywhere – but I actually will make them all year long because I like them so much!
This Cranberry Margarita Mocktail combines two different kinds of juice with non-alcoholic triple sec and tonic water. The lime and cranberry mix is one of my favorites and this drink proves it. Yes you can make a Virgin Margarita – and you cane easily flavor it with cranberry – the perfect holiday flavor!
Ingredients Needed
- Cranberry Juice: We prefer using 100% juice but you can also use regular.
- Lime Juice: Fresh is best but bottled works just fine.
- Triple Sec: I use my homemade orange triple sec, which is essentially orange simple syrup.
- Tonic Water: Just a splash gives that tequila flavor – use regular or diet. You can also substitute club soda.
How to make Cranberry Margarita Recipe
- Run a bit of lime around the edge of serving glass. Dip glass upside down in sugar (or salt) to coat the rim. Add ice to glass.
- Pour cranberry juice, lime juice, tonic, and orange simple syrup into glass. Stir.
- Garnish with lime and cranberries.

Expert tips
- If you don’t have tonic water, you can use a lemon-lime soda like Sprite or club soda.
- Virgin triple sec can be homemade, but you can also buy it if you don’t want to make it. They often sell non-alcoholic mixers at liquor stores or on Amazon.
- This recipe serves one but it’s easy to double, triple or even make a pitcher. Just multiply everything by the number of servings you want!
- We love cranberry drinks – try our Cranberry Ginger Fizz or Cranberry Mojito!
