Margarita Cocktail

Is there anything better than a classic margarita? This recipe is made with just four ingredients and tastes better than most restaurant margaritas!


Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker
  • 1 rocks glass


Ingredients

  • 2 ounces tequila blanco
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur
  • 1 ounce lime juice (freshly squeezed )
  • ½ ounce agave nectar
  • course salt (for rim )


Instructions

  1. Begin by prepping your glassware. I like to salt just half my glass so people have the choice of a sip with or without salt.
  2. Next, fill a cocktail shaker with tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and agave. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake for around 15 seconds or until the shaker becomes icy. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, try using a mason jar with a lid.
  3. Take a quick taste test and make sure you are pleased with the drink. You can add more sweetener if you feel it needs it.
  4. From the shaker, strain the drink into your glass. Add a few ice cubes and a garnish of fresh limes to serve.


Notes

  1. The best way to serve a margarita on the rocks is in a rocks glass with a few ice cubes.
  2. Add extra citrus flavor with some citrus zest mixed into the salt rim.
  3. Goodbye, margarita mix. You never need to buy the neon yellow store-bought mix again. You can use our margarita mix recipe or skip it entirely with this from scratch recipe.
