Equipment

  • Margarita Glass
  • Lime Wedge (for rimming and garnish)
  • Shaker
  • Ice Cubes

Ingredients
  

  • Salt or Sugar for Rimming the Glass
  • 2 ounces of Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 4 ounces of Tequila
  • 2 ounces of Fresh Lime Juice
  • Lime Wedges for Garnish
  • 2 teaspoons of Agave Nectar
  • Ice Cubes
  • 2 ounces of Orange Liqueur

Instructions
 

Prepare the Glass:

  • Wet the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge.
  • Dip the rim into salt or sugar to coat it for added flavor.

Ice the Glass:

  • Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill while preparing the drink.

Mix the Margarita:

  • In a shaker, combine 4 ounces of Tequila, 2 ounces of Orange Liqueur, 2 ounces of Fresh Lime Juice, 2 ounces of Fresh Lemon Juice.

Add Sweetness:

  • Incorporate 2 teaspoons of Agave Nectar to balance the tartness.

Shake Well:

  • Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to ensure a well-blended and chilled margarita.

Strain into Glass:

  • Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.

Garnish:

  • Garnish the rim with a lime wedge for a decorative touch.

Enjoy:

  • Sip and savor the delightful Sundrop Margarita – a perfect balance of citrusy goodness and tequila kick.

Notes

  • Use fresh citrus fruits: Squeezing your own fresh lime and lemon juice will result in a superior taste compared to bottled juice.
  • Adjust sweetness to your liking: Experiment with the amount of agave nectar based on your preferred level of sweetness. Add more for a sweeter drink, or reduce it slightly for a more tart margarita experience.
  • Freeze leftover citrus juice: If you have any remaining lime or lemon juice, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it. This way, you can add the juice cubes to your next Sundrop Margarita without diluting the drink with regular ice cubes.
  • Infuse your tequila: For an extra flavor twist, consider infusing your tequila with jalapeño or pineapple. Simply add your desired infusion ingredient to the bottle of tequila and let it sit for a few days for the flavors to meld together.
  • Rim with flavored salts or sugars: Elevate your Sundrop Margarita presentation by experimenting with flavored salts or sugars for rimming the glass. From chili-lime salts to lavender-infused sugars, the possibilities are endless.
