Barrio Margarita Recipe

Optional salted rim

If you like a salted rim, rub the lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks or coupe glass, then dip or twist the rim into a small plate of coarse salt to coat. Set glass aside.

Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice.

Add 2 oz Lunazul Blanco Tequila to the shaker.

Pour in 1 oz fresh lime juice (juice one medium lime).

Add 0.75 oz orange curaçao for orange flavor and body.

Add 0.5 oz agave nectar. If your agave is very thick, slightly warm or stir it so it mixes cleanly.

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice (if serving on the rocks). If you prefer a straight-up margarita, double-strain into a chilled coupe without ice.

Strain the cocktail from the shaker into the glass. Use a fine strainer if you want to remove small ice shards and pulp.

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

Serve immediately. Taste and adjust sweetness on future pours by adding 0.125–0.25 oz more agave if desired.
