Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Patrón Silver Tequila
- 1 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 0.25 oz Simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp Kosher salt or sea salt (for rimming the glass)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by rimming your margarita glass: Pour the kosher salt onto a small plate. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Gently dip the rim into the salt to coat evenly, then set the glass aside.
2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Patrón Silver Tequila, orange liqueur, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup (if using).
3. Fill the shaker with ice and securely close the lid. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
4. Fill the prepared margarita glass with fresh ice cubes.
5. Strain the margarita mixture into the glass over the ice.
6. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or floating in the drink, and serve immediately.
7. Enjoy your Perfect Patrón Margarita responsibly!
