Margarita (Midnight rambler)

Ingredients

  • 22.5 ml / 0.75 Oz Lime juice
  • 7.5 ml / 0.25 Oz Agave nectar
  • 30 ml / 1 Oz Cointreau
  • 45 ml / 1.5 Oz Tequila

Instructions

Shake and dump. Optional salt rim of glass.

If you substitute the Agave for simple syrup, increase it a bit as the simple syrup is often not as sweet as the Agave.

Verdict

What can I say, it's a delicious Margarita! It's light and refreshing. The citrus, tequila and Agave flavors are in perfect balance. After many attempts, this is the best version of a Margarita I have tried.

Score

7/10

Notes

Replace 15ml of tequila with mezcal for a fantastic mezcal Margarita.

I tried subbing the Cointreau with pimento dram, and while that's also tasty, it's not a great fit. Subbing in a shrub, on the other hand, is fantastic. Especially a strawberry shrub. Pineapple shrub is also nice.
