Margarita Substances

• Tequila Blanco – Also called silver tequila.
• Orange Liqueur – You should utilize Cointreau, Grand Marnier or Triple Sec.
• Lime Juice – Freshly squeezed lime juice is a should.
• Agave Syrup – For some pure sweetness.
• Ice – I take pleasure in these small measurement sq. cubes.
• Lime Slices – Or lime wedges for garnish.
• Course Salt – Or selfmade margarita salt for rimming the glass.

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

How To Make A Excellent Margarita

Start by prepping your glassware. I prefer 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, attempt utilizing a mason jar with a lid.

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

From the shaker, pressure and pour the drink into your salted glass. Add a couple of ice cubes and a garnish of contemporary 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 properly. Whenever you do a salt rim, be sure you solely do the skin edge so undesirable salt isn’t falling into your drink. I prefer to preserve some margarita salt available for simply such an event. You may also make your individual margarita salt (it’s enjoyable!).
