Rattlesnake Margarita (Like Texas Roadhouse) image

The Rattlesnake Margarita is my favorite drink at the Texas Roadhouse. A very kind server listed the ingredients for me, and I had a great time with my DH one Saturday night trying to figure out the correct per portions to get it "just right". Can best be described as a sweet and sour raspberry margarita. These are great with fajitas!! Use a top shelf tequila if you can.

1 large lemon wedge
coarse salt (for rim)
2 oz reposado or blanco (silver) tequila made from 100% agave
1 oz cointreau orange liqueur
1 oz orange juice
1/4 oz lime juice

  • Choose the right tequila. A good quality tequila is essential for a great margarita. Look for a 100% agave tequila, which means it is made from 100% blue agave plants.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice is much more flavorful than bottled lime juice. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
  • Sweeten to taste. The amount of sweetener you add to your margarita is a matter of personal preference. You can use simple syrup, agave nectar, or even honey. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve your margarita chilled. The best way to enjoy a margarita is chilled. You can chill your margarita in the refrigerator or freezer, or you can serve it over ice.
  • Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge or salt. A lime wedge or salt rim is a classic way to garnish a margarita. You can also get creative with your garnish, such as using a sprig of mint or a slice of cucumber.
