Refreshing

Seasonal

There are tons of Margarita variations out there and I almost always stick to the basic one because it’s just perfect. But having left-over mint from serving Old Cuban’s the night before I thought I’d at least spice it up a tiny bit. This has the discreet and lovely mint aftertaste that comes through elegantly. I always serve my Margaritas with an equal tequila/lime ratio and I just think this is a perfect balance to this classic cocktail making the tequila a tad less prominent. No need to use...

Rim the glass with lime and salt. Lightly muddle the mint leaves in a shaker then add the rest of the ingredients with ice and shake to chill. Add or reduce amount of mint leaves to find the balance you find the most pleasing since the mint strength can vary a lot. Serve and enjoy!
