Margarita Sol Recipe

Margarita Sol Recipe

  • Lime wedge
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 1?2 ounces 100 percent agave blanco tequila
  • 3 ounces fresh sweet and sour mix (recipe follows)
  • 3?4 ounce orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or Citronage
  • 3?4 ounce fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups filtered water
  1. For the Fresh Sweet and Sour Mix:
  2. Combine all the ingredients and refrigerate. Depending on the sweetness of the fruit, you may want to add a little more sugar or water, but keep a nice tart edge. Use within 24 hours.
  3. For the Margarita Sol:
  4. Carefully run the wedge of lime around the inside rim of a 12-ounce tumbler (for rocks) or a 10-ounce martini glass, then dunk the glass onto a saucer of kosher salt to create a thin line of salt around the inside rim only. Shake off excess.
  5. Combine the tequila, sour mix, liqueur, and orange juice in a glass shaker filled with ice. Cap tightly, shake vigorously for 15 seconds, and strain over fresh ice cubes into the rocks glass, or straight up into the martini glass.
