Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Christmas Mistletoe Margarita
  1. Gather a large pitcher or punch bowl. Pour in 1 cup of orange juice, followed by 1 cup of cranberry juice, then add 1 cup of 7UP. Stir in ½ cup of silver tequila and ¼ cup of maraschino cherry juice. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until well combined.

  3. Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the margarita mixture over the ice until glasses are three-quarters full. Top each drink with a splash of 7UP.
  4. Garnish each glass with fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.
