Strawberry Margarita Recipe

Strawberry Margarita Recipe

   Adding extra fruits to your Margarita recipe (strawberry, for example) can make it unique and quite new in terms of the taste.
   Many are afraid of experimenting with tequila as there is a common misbelief that tequila is not really made for cocktails. Yea, salt + lemo is a great way to consume it, but do not forget, that vodka is also added everywhere and it usually makes cocktails better. Let's add sweet and sour mix + strawberries

Strawberry Margarita Recipe


1 1/2 ounces of silver tequila
3/4 ounces of Triple Sec (up to 1 ounce)
3/4 ounces of freshly squeezed lime juice (my favourite)
2 ounces of sweet and sour mix
2-3strawberries (most important part here :))

   Couple of strawberries should be muddled beforehand. Pour everything (except strawberries, or course), shake with ice and strain into a glass (with some ice in it already). Put one left strawberry on a glass rim and I have seen advice to cover rim with sugar. Seems to be a good idea.

Classic Margarita Recipe

Classic Margarita Recipe

   Classic Margarita Recipe for the hot days. Nothing can be better - pure refreshment.

   Starting with the basics. And.. this is not so easy. There are different margarita recipes on the web out there and mosty of them are reffered as "classical" ones. I picked up one of them, seems this one is the best



Classic Margarita Recipe


3 ounces of the silver tequila
2 ounces of lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 ounce of Simple Syrup
1/2 teaspoon of Orange liqueur


   First, cocktail shaker should be filled up with ice. Tequila, lime juice and Simple Syrup should follow. Now, cover and shake well - cocktail should be mixed and chilled.


   Prepare lime (or lemon) and salt. Enjoy it! Feel free to share with friends via Facebook or Twitter. Nice buttons are around :)
