Margarita
A Margarita to celebrate International Margarita Day! 🍸❤️ If you feel like making one for yourself, here’s how I make mine to help transport myself to Los Cabos, Mexico!
Ingredients
- 1 shot (30ml) your favourite Tequila, I’m using @altostequila
- 1 shot (30ml) of triple sec or orange juice if you don’t have that
- 1 shot of simple sugar syrup (equal parts sugar and water dissolved)
- 1-2 limes
- 1 tablespoon of a mixture of different salts for texture. I’ve used flakey salt, Himalayan rock salt finely ground and a oak smoked salt.
- 1 cup of ice
Equipment
- 1 cocktail or lowball glass
- 1 cocktail shaker or lidded glass jar
- 1 plate
- 1 knife
Method
- Make your salt rim by cutting a lime in half and making a 1 can incision across one of the halves. Rum the lime around the rim of the glass and then roll it onto a plate with your salt. Twist the glass until salt covers the entire rim. Set aside.
- Place the remaining ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Shake until the exterior of the shaker is ice cold.
- Strain and pour into your Margarita glass.
- Enjoy!
