Description
A perfectly balanced and refreshing classic margarita recipe featuring fresh lime juice, 100% agave tequila, and agave nectar.
Ingredients
2 oz (60ml) 100% Agave Blanco Tequila
1 oz (30ml) Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
1 oz (30ml) Agave Nectar (or orange liqueur like Cointreau/Triple Sec for a sweeter drink)
Ice
Flaky sea salt (optional, for rim)
Lime wedge or wheel (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: If desired, prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around half the rim, then dipping the rim into a shallow plate of flaky sea salt. Set aside.
Step 2: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Step 3: Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar (or orange liqueur) to the shaker.
Step 4: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty cold. This chills and properly dilutes the drink.
Step 5: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
Step 6: Garnish with a fresh lime wedge or wheel and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly balanced classic margarita!
Notes
For a less sweet margarita, reduce the agave nectar to 0.75 oz. For a spicy kick, muddle a few thin slices of jalapeño in the shaker before adding other ingredients.
