Description
This is a delicious but strong margarita!
Ingredients
Scale
- Juice of 1 lime (2 if they are small)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 mandarin, if available
- 2.5 oz silver or reposado tequila
- A squeeze of agave syrup
- Salt and slice of lime for the rim
- 1 oz Cointreau (see note below for less sweet)
Instructions
- Muddle or squeeze juice of lime, lemon, and mandarin into cocktail shaker
- Pour tequila, agave, and Cointreau into the shaker
- Add ice
- Shake until the shaker is freezing cold
- Salt the rim of the glass if desired – slide a lime wedge around the outside of the glass, then dip the rim of the glass in a plate of course salt
- Pour into a margarita glass of choice
- Garnish with a slice of the lime! CHEERS!
Notes
This recipe makes one 6 oz drink plus ice.
If you prefer your margarita on the less sweet side, skip the Cointreau and tailor the amount of the agave syrup. For my “less sweet” friends, I do the same amount of agave but skip the Cointreau.
