Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz 100% blue agave tequila
- 1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz Orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 0.5 oz Agave nectar
- 1 cup Ice
- 2 tbsp Coarse sea salt (for rimming the glass)
- 1 piece Lime wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the glass. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita or cocktail glass.
Pour the coarse sea salt onto a small plate. Dip the glass rim into the salt, twisting slightly to ensure even coverage. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (optional) or leave it empty if you prefer your drink straight up.
Strain the margarita mixture into the glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass or placed inside the drink as a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Perfect Blue Agave Margarita.
