Zapoteca Margarita
This classic Zapoteca Margarita is a refreshing tequila cocktail balanced with fresh citrus and sweet agave. Using silver tequila and fresh squeezed lime juice gives the drink a bright, clean flavor profile that bottled mixes cannot match. It is a perfect choice for warm weekend afternoons or your next taco night. The salted rim adds a savory crunch that cuts right through the sweet and sour notes.
Ingredients
- 6 oz (170 ml) ice cubes
- 1½ oz (45 ml) silver tequila (I recommend Herradura Silver)
- ½ oz (15 ml) orange liqueur
- ½ oz (15 ml) agave nectar
- 1½ oz (45 ml) fresh squeezed lime juice
- Salt for rim of glass
Instructions
- 1Add the ice cubes to a cocktail shaker, then pour in the silver tequila, orange liqueur, agave nectar, and fresh squeezed lime juice.
- 2Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously 12 to 15 times to break up the ice and chill the liquid.
- 3Spread the salt on a small plate and press the rim of a chilled martini glass into it to create an even coating. Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass and serve immediately.
