Classic Margarita Recipe
50ml Patrón Silver
25ml fresh lime juice
20ml premium orange liqueur
5ml agave syrup
1x lime wedge for garnish
Optionally, using a lime wedge, wet half of your glass rim, dip into sea salt and place in the freezer.
- Combine liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously with ice and shake for eight seconds
- Remove your glass from the freezer
- Strain into your favourite glass, on the rocks or straight up, and garnish with a lime wedge
Two easy ways to create a twist on a Margarita at home:
- Replace premium orange liqueur a total of 20 mls of agave syrup to make a Tommy’s Margarita
- Add slices of red chilli, to taste, to the shaker and fine strain to create a Spicy Margarita
