Margarita Elements

• Tequila Blanco – Also called 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 get pleasure from these small dimension sq. cubes.

There are just a few easy bar instruments that may make your selfmade margarita expertise less complicated and faster. I like to recommend a handheld citrus squeezer, a measuring shot glass (I take advantage of this for practically each cocktail I make) and a cocktail shaker.

How To Make A Good Margarita

Start by prepping your glassware. I prefer to salt simply half my glass so individuals 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 you are happy with the drink. You’ll be able to add extra sweetener should you really feel it wants it.

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

How To Salt Rim A Glass

I take advantage of agave to stick my salt because it’s a little bit extra hearty and holds extra salt than lime juice alone. Lime juice works as effectively. Once you do a salt rim, remember to solely do the surface edge so undesirable salt isn’t falling into your drink. I prefer to preserve some margarita salt available for simply such an event.
