Method
Margarita base

- 2
Combine and shake
Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.25 oz agave syrup and 6 ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Strain
Fill the prepared serving glass with 4 ice cubes. Double-strain (or fine-strain) the shaken margarita mixture into the glass to remove ice shards and pulp, leaving room at the top for the ginger beer.

Top with ginger beer
Slowly pour 4 oz ginger beer over the strained margarita in the glass. Pour gently so it layers and retains carbonation.

Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and optionally a candied ginger or fresh ginger slice on a pick. Serve immediately with a short stirper (or let the drink maintain a slight effervescence).
Notes
- 6
Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing agave syrup by 0.25 oz increments. For more heat/ginger bite, use a spicier ginger beer or muddle a thin slice of fresh ginger in the shaker before combining other ingredients (strain before topping with ginger beer).
