I am a big fan of mint flavour, so when I saw this cool mint margarita recipe I could not resist. Gold tequila with Cointreau and Creme de Menthe.
You will need two liqueurs for this one - Cointreau and Creme de Menthe (or alternative). Some prefer without Cointreau as it has a bit different taste, than needed for the mint flavour :)
Cool Mint Margarita Recipe
• 1 1/2 ounce of gold tequila
• 1/2 ounce of Cointreau
• 1/2 ounce of Creme de Menthe (or try a bit more)
• 3 ounces of sour mix
• 1/4 ounce of mint syrup (if you think that liqueur is not enough)
Shake with ice, pour into salted glass (some prefer to rim with sugar, though). Add mint leaves on top and lime is a must as this is tequila :) And today's special - add A BIT of peper on top. Mint flavour + spicy touch will create a perfect combination.

Cranberry juice, triple sec and sweet sour mix. Gold tequila is the main idgredient and couple of limes of course as well..
Cranberry is quite widespread in the northern countries, but "a bit" hard to find in southern. No problems, there are different juices and cranberry juice is among them. Just make sure to choose the one with the highest fruit percentage as usually these cranberry "juices" are quite full of water as they are more drinks than juices.
Cranberry Margarita Recipe
• 1 1/2 ounces of white tequila
• 1 1/2 ounces of sweet and sour mix of your choice
• 1 1/2 ounces of triple sec of your choice
• 2 ounces of cranberry juice of your choice
• juice of 1 fresh lime
Now this one is really fantastic - soooo tasty! As usual - mix everything with ice (lime juice an be added just at the end), pour into cocktail glass and rim it with salt. If you have real cranberries, put them on top to decorate our cocktail.
Enjoy!
