What’s in a Classic Margarita Cocktail?
The classic margarita features a mixture of silver tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec (orange liqueur). It typically served in a margarita glass dressed with a rim of salt and a wheel of lime. sThis spring cocktail is our special spin on the classic margarita. Our other spins include our skinny jalapeño margarita, frozen citrus margarita, and flavored margaritas.
Ingredients Needed
- Silver tequila — Choose a good quality tequila for best results (and a better day after!)
- Grapefruit juice — Fresh is always best, but bottled will do too. This will add tanginess, freshness and lots of color.
- Tangerine juice — You’ll probably need to make it at home since it’s more difficult to find bottled. Or you can sub it for orange juice.
- Triple sec — Cointreau is our personal favorite and one of the most high quality Triple secs.
- Orange blossom water — The secret ingredient. Use sparingly because a couple of dashes goes a long way and can overpower the other flavors.
- Sugar — The classic margarita has as a salt brim. However, sugar is best to balance this drink’s citrus flavors.
How to Make an Easter Margarita
1 — In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the grapefruit juice, tangerine juice, triple sec, tequila and orange blossom water. Shake well until chilled.
2 — To prep your margarita glass, pass a tangerine wedge along glass rim. Dip the rim in a plate of sugar. Add plenty of ice or a big ice cube cube to your sugar-rimmed glass.
3 — Strain and serve your mix into a glass. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- How to turn the Easter Margarita into a frozen cocktail: Simply blend all the ingredients with plenty of ice in a food processor and serve immediately.
- How to sweeten the drink: If your tangerines are not super sweet, you can balance the sourness of the grapefruit by adding 1/2 teaspoon of simple syrup at a time. Add to taste, depending on your desired sweetness level.
- To make the Easter Margarita for a crowd: Prepare the cocktail mix beforehand in a pitcher, and then, store it in the fridge. Serve it over ice.
- If you don’t want the drink to water down: Create grapefruit and tangerine ice cubes beforehand to use instead of regular ice.
