Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Tequila
- 1 ounce Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 ounce Fresh lime juice
- 3 ounces Champagne or sparkling wine
- 0.5 ounce Agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 1 piece Fresh lime wheel
Instructions
Run the lime wedge around the rim of a margarita or champagne coupe glass.
Dip the rim of the glass into a small plate of coarse sea salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup with ice cubes, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, leaving enough room at the top for champagne.
Slowly pour the champagne or sparkling wine into the glass, letting it gently mix with the margarita base.
Garnish with a fresh lime wheel on the rim and serve immediately.
