25oz Margaritas Recipe

House Margarita (single 25 oz serving)

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Take a 25 oz chilled margarita glass or schooner. Run a lime wedge around the rim, then dip the rim into coarse salt (or salt/Tajín mix) to coat. Set glass aside in the freezer or fridge to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

2. 2

   Measure and add ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker (or blender for frozen), add 3.5 fl oz blanco tequila, 1.5 fl oz triple sec, 2 fl oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 fl oz fresh lemon juice, and 1 fl oz simple syrup.

3. 3

   Add ice

   If serving on the rocks, add about 12 oz of ice to the shaker. If making frozen, add an additional ~6 oz of crushed ice (see optional) to the blender.

4. 4

   Shake or blend

   For on-the-rocks: cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled, then double strain into the chilled 25 oz glass over fresh ice if desired. For frozen: blend on high until smooth and slushy, about 20–30 seconds, then pour into the chilled glass.

5. 5

   Finish and garnish

   Optional: float 0.5 fl oz Grand Marnier on top by pouring gently over the back of a spoon. Garnish with one lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve with a short straw and napkin.

6. 6

   Optional fruit variation

   To make a flavored margarita (e.g., strawberry), add 2 tbsp strawberry puree to the shaker or blender along with the other ingredients and proceed the same way. Adjust simple syrup to taste if the puree is tart.
