A tipple of ginger liqueur adds zip and complexity to this tart cherry riff on a margarita. To prep a batch for friends, add the ingredients to a jar the night before and refrigerate. When cocktail hour arrives you can simply add ice to the jar, stir, and strain the ruby red elixir into glasses.

Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 1-2 drinks, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/2 ounces tequila
tart cherry juice
margarita mix

Steps:

  • Fill a 16 oz glass 3/4-way full with ice.
  • Pour in tequila.
  • Fill the glass with equal parts cherry juice and margarita mix.
  • Serve on the rocks or blended.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries are the best choice for this recipe, as they have the most flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Chill the glasses: Chilling the glasses before serving will help to keep the margaritas cold and refreshing.
  • Use a good quality tequila: The tequila is the main ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality tequila that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't over-shake the margaritas: Over-shaking the margaritas will make them watery. Shake them just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish with a cherry: A cherry is the perfect garnish for a cherry margarita. You can also garnish with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint.

Conclusion:

Cherry margaritas are a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive cocktail, give cherry margaritas a try!
