These fun Christmas tequila shots are easy to make and easier to chug!

Christmas Shots
While I usually am known to mix up a batch of this fizzy Christmas cocktail or a delightful Christmas Punch, this year, I'm adding a merry twist to the festivities with these Christmas shots! Super simple to shake up, and tastes even better when enjoying with company.
Ingredients
To make these shots, you only need tequila and cranberry juice (be sure to use juice and not bottled concentrate). If it's your jam, you can garnish the rim with sugar.
How to Make Christmas Shots with Tequila
- Rim the glasses so you can enjoy your shots right after shaking them up!
- Make this drink by shaking all the ingredients with ice until the sides are nice and frosted.
- Pour the shaken mixture into your prepared shot glasses. Serve, sip, and enjoy!
