Skinny Margarita

Method

Skinny Margarita

1

Prepare the glass

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

2

Mix the cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker with 4 to 6 large ice cubes. Add 2 oz tequila blanco, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 0.5 tbs agave nectar into the shaker.

3

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is cold and well-chilled. This both chills and slightly dilutes the drink.

4

Strain and top

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice if you prefer it on the rocks. Double-strain the cocktail into the glass (or simply strain if you like small ice chips). Top with 1 oz club soda to lighten and lengthen the drink.

5

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately. If desired, offer extra lime wedges and adjust sweetness with a small spoon of agave at the table.
