Margarita Elements

• Tequila Blanco – Often known as silver tequila.
• Orange Liqueur – You should utilize Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Triple Sec.
• Lime Juice – Freshly squeezed.
• Agave Nectar – For some pure sweetness.
• Ice – I take pleasure in these small measurement sq. cubes.
• Lime Slices – For garnish.
• Course Salt – For rimming the glass.

There are a couple of easy bar instruments that can make your do-it-yourself margarita expertise easier and faster. I like to recommend a handheld citrus squeezer, a measuring shot glass (I exploit this for practically each cocktail I make) and a cocktail shaker.

How To Make A Good Margarita

Start by prepping your glassware. I wish to salt simply half my glass so folks have the selection of a sip with or with out salt.

Subsequent, fill a cocktail shaker with tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and agave. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake for round 15 seconds or till the shaker turns into icy. In case you don’t have a cocktail shaker, strive utilizing a mason jar with a lid.

Take a fast style check and be sure to are happy with the drink. You may add extra sweetener if you happen to really feel it wants it.

From the shaker, pressure the drink into your glass. Add a couple of ice cubes and a garnish of recent limes to serve.

How To Salt Rim A Glass

I exploit agave to stick my salt because it’s slightly extra hearty and holds extra salt than lime juice alone. Lime juice works as effectively. While you do a salt rim, you’ll want to solely do the skin edge so undesirable salt isn’t falling into your drink. I wish to preserve some margarita salt readily available for simply such an event.
