Ingredients
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 tablespoon cherry preserves
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 ounce orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ice
- salt or sugar to rim glass (optional)
- 2 small lime wedges
Instructions
- Begin the recipe by using a cocktail shaker or jar with a lid to combine together 2 ounces of tequila, 1 tablespoon cherry preserves, 1 ounce lime juice, 1 ounce orange-flavored liqueur, and 1 teaspoon maple syrup together.
- Place the top/lid on the shaker or jar and carefully shake for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Grab your favorite glass and rub the rim with a slice of lime for the lime juice. Rub this part of the glass in salt or sugar until the rim of the glass is completely covered.
- Add ice into the glass.
- Pour the mixture from the shaker or jar into the glass. Top with a lime wedge for garnish. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You may substitute orange juice in the same unit of measure for the orange-flavored liqueur.
- Be sure to use fresh lime juice for this recipe. For an ounce use approximately the juice of 1 ½ small limes.
- Rim the glass with salt or sugar. If you prefer to use salt, use coarse sea salt or kosher salt. For a sweet margarita, rim the glass with raw sugar.
- If this margarita is too strong in terms of alcohol, adjust to your preference or allow the ice to melt a little before drinking to dilute.
- Double or triple the recipe as needed.
