Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker
  • 1 rocks glass

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces tequila blanco
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur
  • 1 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ ounce agave nectar
  • course salt for rim

Instructions

  • Begin by prepping your glassware. I like to salt just half my glass so people have the choice of a sip with or without salt.
  • Next, fill a cocktail shaker with tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and agave. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake for around 15 seconds or until the shaker becomes icy. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, try using a mason jar with a lid.
  • Take a quick taste test and make sure you are pleased with the drink. You can add more sweetener if you feel it needs it.
  • From the shaker, strain the drink into your glass. Add a few ice cubes and a garnish of fresh limes to serve.

Notes

  • The best way to serve a margarita on the rocks is in a rocks glass with a few ice cubes.
  • Add extra citrus flavor with some citrus zest mixed into the salt rim.
  • Goodbye, margarita mix. You never need to buy the neon yellow store-bought mix again. You can use our margarita mix recipe or skip it entirely with this from scratch recipe.
