The Ocasion Margarita

A bottle of blue tequila, a margarita with a salted rim and lime wedge, a small pitcher of lime juice, a jigger, halved limes, and a bowl of salt on a wooden cutting board.

  • 2 ounces Tequila Ocasion blanco

    1 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice

    1 ounce orange liqueur

    ½ ounce agave syrup

    Coarse salt for the rim (optional)

    Lime wedge or wheel for garnish 

    1. Prep the glass: If you want a salted rim, cut a small slit in a lime wedgeand run the juicy part around the rim of your serving glass. Pour coarse salt onto a small plate and dip the moistened rim into the salt, rotating the glass until the rim is covered.

    2. Combine ingredients: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup (if using).

    3. Shake well: Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the liquid is well-chilled and mixed.

    4. Strain and serve: Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice. Strain the margarita mixture into the glass.

    5. Garnish: Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and serve immediately.
