Maria Margarita

Recipe by Mixologist Sean Norris

Ingredients:
2 oz Ana Maria Rosa tequila
½ oz Combier orange liqueur
¾ oz lime
½ oz lavender simple syrup

Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a mixing tin. Add ice and shake for 10-12 seconds. Strain into a chilled rocks glass over ice. Garnish with fresh lavender sprigs or dried sprigs. Note: If you use dried lavender sprigs, use a bit less—dried florals tend to be more potent! I love the gentle aroma of this cocktail. This brand of Rosa tequila is a blend of Blanco tequila with .5% Mexican cabernet, which lends it a beautiful pink hue.

TIP:
It’s frustrating when you can’t find that bottle you need for your recipe. The solution? Ask! Reach out to your local liquor store and request what you are looking for. Reputable operators are happy to provide their customers with the options they want!
