Description
A refreshing Raspberry Margarita cocktail combining the classic tang of lime and tequila with the sweet twist of raspberry syrup, perfect for summer gatherings or a stylish evening drink.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Raspberry Margarita
- 2 oz tequila
- ½ oz orange liqueur
- 1 oz lime juice
- ½ oz raspberry syrup
- Ice cubes (as needed)
For Garnish and Glass Preparation
- Salt, for rimming the glass (optional)
- 1 lime wedge
- Fresh raspberries or lime wedge, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your serving glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly, if desired. This adds a classic salted rim to your cocktail.
- Mix the Drink: In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz tequila, ½ oz orange liqueur, 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, ½ oz raspberry syrup, and a generous amount of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cold without diluting it immediately.
- Garnish: Add fresh raspberries or a lime wedge to the rim of the glass as a decorative and flavorful garnish. Your Raspberry Margarita is now ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of raspberry syrup for your preferred sweetness.
- For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
- The salted rim is optional but enhances the classic margarita taste.
