While the holidays look different this year, a festive signature cocktail is a staple you can count on to make the menu. If you’re looking for a tart twist to the traditional margarita, try the cranberry margarita that was first crafted by one of our Royal Caribbean bartenders. The recipe combines a Thanksgiving staple—cranberry—with the sweetness of honey to create a refreshing and vibrant drink. You’ll impress your guests, either at home or over “Zoomtails,” and everyone can raise a glass to celebrate the spirit of “Podsgiving.”

Mix this simple but delicious drink with this easy recipe.
