National Margarita Day: Margarita Cocktail Recipes
Margaritas are one of the most iconic cocktails and so when we heard it was National Margarita Day we simply had to try our hand at a few.
Firstly we tried the iconic Margarita Cocktail, so here’s what you’ll need and how to create it –
Ingredients:
1 ½ oz Tequila
1 oz Triple Sec (Cointreau is best)
2 limes (juiced)
1 tbsp Sugar or Salt
Method:
Find yourself a nice glass and run lime juice around the rim.
Now, depending upon your personal taste, place the rim in the sugar or salt so that it sticks.
Measure out your tequila, triple sec and lime juice – you can use bottled lime juice but fresh from the lime tastes much better.
Pour all your ingredients into a cocktail shaker and give it a good shake.
Pour your cocktail into the glass and you’re all done!
If you like something with a little more flavour and fruitiness, then why not try out this Peach Margarita?
Here’s what you’ll need and how to make it –
Ingredients:
1 oz Tequila
1 oz Peach Schnapps
1 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
A dash of Grenadine
Method:
Firstly, if you can’t get your hands on some Sweet and Sour Mix then you can make your own by mixing 2 oz of lemon juice with half a tbsp of sugar.
Pour the tequila, peach schnapps and sweet and sour mix into a cocktail shaker and shake.
Then pour the cocktail into a glass and add a dash of grenadine.
Simply stir the grenadine gently into the mix and you’ve got a Peach Margarita!
