Festive Tequila Sour Recipe
Christmas is the perfect time for a fun cocktail recipe. This White Christmas Tequila Sour is beautiful, tasty, and oh so easy to make. If you want to impress guests this holiday season, this type of drink is just the thing. Isn’t it fun?
To make this Tequila Sour Recipe for Christmas you will need:
- Exotico Tequila
- Lime Juice
- Lemon Juice
- Lemon Extract (gives an extra punch)
- Agave Nectar (or honey)
- Egg White
- For the garnish: lime slices, fresh rosemary, and cranberries
To put everything together:
- Add all ingredients (except the garnishes) to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake shake shake!
- Add ice and shake some more (be careful because the egg will cause quite a bit of fizz).
- Pour over ice and garnish!
What makes a great Tequila Sour
I’m very particular about my tequila, and for this recipe I used my favorite, Exotico ! If you’re going to make a tequila based cocktail (or even take a tequila shot), good tequila is of utmost importance. Exotico’s smooth and quality tequila is the perfect alcohol for this White Christmas Tequila Sour. Smooth as can be!
You might remember me using Exotico throughout the years in these other favorite cocktail recipes:
- Spicy Cucumber Margaritas
- Blood Orange Palomas
- Pink Summer Shandy
- Tequila Sunrise
- Day of the Dead Cocktail
- Peach Frozen Margaritas
- Mulled Wine Margaritas (Another Christmas Classic!)
Exotico is made by one of my favorite companies, Luxco, right here in Saint Louis. I’m so proud to be representing this award winning tequila as they’re made with 100% blue agave, has a great price point that can’t be beat for the quality, and look at those amazingly cool bottles.
What makes a Traditional Tequila Sour
Tequila Sours traditionally consist of Tequila, lime and lemon juices, bitters, sweetener, and sometimes egg whites. I’ve chosen to skip the bitters to keep things light. I find that this version is one that’s loved by all!
To make this recipe Christmas themed, I’ve added fresh cranberries, sprigs of rosemary, and lime slices for garnish. Santa Clause is coming to town!
Is it safe to drink egg whites
It’s best to find egg whites that have been pasteurized. This way you’re sure they’re free of bacteria or salmonella and you can feel totally safe drinking them in cocktails, stirring them into smoothies, or using in no bake desserts. Typically if you’re using proper kitchen techniques and if your eggs are fresh, there is nothing to worry about, but pasteurized is always best.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
