Ardour Fruit Margarita – Cocktail Highlights
- Basic Margarita Base: I persist with the necessities: tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice for that crisp, balanced basis.
- Agave or Easy Syrup: Because the ardour fruit purée I take advantage of is already sweetened, I skip the agave or easy syrup. However in case you favor a sweeter cocktail, be happy so as to add a teaspoon.
- Mezcal: I record it as an optionally available ingredient. It provides a tremendous smoky taste, and I all the time use it in my margaritas. However some folks do not just like the smokiness of Mezcal, so be happy to skip it.
- Spicy Salt Rim: I prefer to rim the glass with a do-it-yourself chili salt—simply purple pepper flakes combined with flaky sea salt—as this provides an excellent spicy distinction to the candy and fruity cocktail. Tajín or plain flaky sea salt are additionally nice choices
- Edible Flower Garnish: I garnished this ardour fruit margarita with a vibrant edible flower—orchids are my go-to since they’re fit for human consumption and make the drink look gorgeous. Use your favourite edible flower!
Finest Tequila for Margaritas
I prefer to make this cocktail with silver tequila (additionally labeled as blanco or plata) as a result of its clear, crisp taste actually lets the contemporary citrus shine with out throwing off the steadiness. That mentioned, you possibly can completely use any tequila you favor—Reposado and Añejo work too, although they’ve extra advanced, oaky notes that I personally assume are higher for sipping or richer cocktails. For the brightest, freshest margaritas, I all the time attain for a good-quality blanco.
