Margarita Mix & Primary Spirits

Optional Finishing & Garnish

Method

Prep & Rim

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    If you want a salted rim, run the lime wedge around the outer edge of a chilled rocks or margarita glass. Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate and gently press the glass rim into the salt so it adheres. Set the glass aside.

Make Margarita

  1. 2

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz orange liqueur, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup (or agave nectar).

  2. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Add the shaking ice (approximately 4 oz or a generous handful). Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and well diluted.

  3. 4

    Strain and serve

    Fill the prepared glass with cubed ice (about 1 cup). Double-strain the cocktail into the glass over the ice to catch any pulp. If you prefer it straight up, strain into a chilled coupe without ice.

  4. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with the reserved lime wedge on the rim or floated in the drink. Serve immediately.
