How To Make Homemade Margarita Mix
Making homemade Margarita mix is as easy as a child game.
Step 1: prepare your cocktail glasses. For a thicker salted rim dip the glass edge into lime juice first, and then follow into the salt.
Step 2: Mix the ingredients into a shaker, or mason jar if you don’t have a shaker. Follow the proportions 2:2:1 or in other words 2 part tequila, 2 part lime juice, 1 part orange liqueur. Of course, if you like to be sweeter, add some agave syrup
Step 3: Once all the ingredients are in, just shake it. I usually put the music on while I am cooking, so follow the rhythm of your favorite song to make sure the cocktail is well prepared.
Step 4: Add some ice cubes into the salted cocktail glasses. Pour your perfect homemade Margarita mix and decorate with some slices of lime. Feel free to add colorful straws or cocktail umbrellas for a more festive feeling.
Easy, tasty, and refreshing… Perfect for the upcoming weekend! Cheers!
