Holiday Margarita Punch

Serves about 24

This is a fast and easy make ahead cocktail that tastes great and can be made in large batches. When I first saw the recipe I was a little skeptical, but it was a big hit at a recent party. It’s not overly sweet and reminds me of the Margaritas that you find in Mexico.  I dipped the glasses in some red sugar crystals but traditional salt is fine too.
