Casamigos Recipe

Casamigos Margarita Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Choose a rocks or coupe glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt to coat. Set glass aside and chill briefly with a few ice cubes if desired; discard the ice before pouring.

2. 2

   Mix cocktail

   Add 2 oz Casamigos Blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 0.5 tablespoon agave nectar to a cocktail shaker. If you prefer a slightly sweeter margarita, add 0.25 tablespoon simple syrup. Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with fresh ice.

3. 3

   Shake

   Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold to the touch and the exterior is frosted. This chills and dilutes the cocktail to proper balance.

4. 4

   Strain and serve

   Discard the ice from the chilled rimmed glass (if used). Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or without ice for a neater presentation. If you used a coupe, serve without ice.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally express a lime peel over the drink to add a burst of citrus oils.

   Enjoy responsibly. This recipe makes one serving.
