A very simple and refreshing margarita made with silver tequila, fresh limes and blue agave nectar. Blue agave nectar is a very light and natural sweetener made from the blue agave plant. You can find it at your supermarket (Whole Foods/Sprouts) or online (Amazon). No need for additional sweeteners, triple sec or anything else. Just pure and simple and very smooth. My wife, who hates margaritas on the rocks, loves this mix.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 oz silver or reposado 100% agave tequila
1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (not bottled)
1/2 oz agave nectar (adjust up/down for sweetness)
1 oz fresh cool water
1 slice lime for garnish (optional)
1 tsp course salt for rim (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing glass or mason jar add all ingredients except the salt and lime garnish.
  • 2. Mix well with a spoon or cover the jar and shake very gently.
  • 3. To salt the rim of your glass (optional) drag a cut lime around the rim and then gently dip the rim in a saucer filled with fluer de sel so that the salt sticks to the rim. Fill the glass to the top with ice. Add cocktail mixture to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until well chilled. About 30 seconds.
  • 4. Strain contents of shaker over the ice in the glass and garnish with slice of lime.
  • 5. Enjoy -- repeat.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh limes, good-quality tequila, and 100% agave nectar for the best flavor.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice: This will give your margarita a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
  • Chill your ingredients and glassware: This will help to create a refreshing, well-balanced margarita.
  • Don't overshake your margarita: A few quick shakes is all you need to combine the ingredients. Overshaking can make your margarita watery.
  • Serve your margarita immediately: Margaritas are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they are made.
