Woodsy Margarita
Autumn-Inspired Margarita Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 ounces blanco or silver tequila
- 1/2 ounce mezcal
- 3/4 ounce orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier
- 1 ounce maple syrup
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice ~ 1 lime (see Notes)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt such as Maldon
Instructions
- Combine tequila, mezcal, orange liqueur, maple syrup, lime juice and a pinch of flaky sea salt in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until well chilled, about 20 seconds.
- Strain into a rocks or old fashioned glass filled with ice (preferably one large ice cube).
Notes
- Before squeezing a lime, heat it in a microwave for about 20 to 25 seconds and then rub it back and forth on the counter top. This easy two-step process results in more juice per piece of fruit.
