Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila (Blanco)
- 1 oz Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
- 1 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1 oz Lavender simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 tbsp Salt (for rim)
- 0.25 tsp Dried lavender (optional, for garnish)
- 1 piece Lime wedge (for garnish and rim)
Instructions
Prepare the lavender simple syrup ahead of time by simmering equal parts sugar and water (e.g., 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water) with 1 tablespoon of dried culinary lavender for about 5 minutes. Strain and let it cool completely.
Run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass to lightly moisten it.
Place the salt on a small plate. Dip the glass rim into the salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, lavender simple syrup, and ice cubes.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Fill the prepared margarita glass with fresh ice (optional).
Strain the margarita into the glass, pouring it over the ice if used.
Garnish with a small sprig of dried lavender and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your floral, zesty Lavender Margarita!
