Skinny margarita with blanco tequila, fresh lime, orange juice, and agave. From Olivia at Flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
One drink
- 2 ounces (60ml) blanco tequila
- 1 1/2 ounces (45ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce (30ml) fresh orange juice
- 1/2 ounce (15ml) agave nectar, or to taste
- Ice
- Kosher salt and a lime wheel, for the glass
Pitcher (8 drinks)
- 2 cups (480ml) blanco tequila
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 cup (240ml) fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup (120ml) agave nectar
Instructions
- Salt the rim of a rocks glass if you want it: rub a lime wedge on the rim and dip in kosher salt. Fill the glass with ice.
- Add tequila, lime, orange, and agave to a shaker with ice. Shake 12 to 15 seconds until the shaker is very cold.
- Strain over the fresh ice. Taste: if it is sharp, add a bar spoon of agave; if it is flat, add a squeeze of lime.
- Garnish with a lime wheel. For a pitcher, stir the four liquids and keep cold. Shake or stir each serving over ice — do not add ice to the jug.
Notes
Fresh lime is the drink. Bottled lime makes it taste like mix. Silver tequila stays clean; reposado is a different flavor. The blue margarita is the curaçao version, not a substitute for this ratio.
