Get Kissed with this Mistletoe Margarita Cocktail Recipe

One of our family’s holiday traditions is hosting a Holiday Open House. It’s a great way to entertain while allowing people to drop in as it fits their schedule.  A Holiday Open House also allows you to host a lot of people without having to figure out where they’re all going to fit!

One of the things my mom always did was make a different punch every year.  Well, she’d really make two – one for adults who wanted to imbibe, and one for everyone else.  She used to make a version of the Mistletoe Margarita.  It’s refreshing, light, and tastes good.
