"Made for National Tequila Day 2023
When I shared my goldenberry daiquiri, someone told me that they also make a great margarita. I’m sure that’s true, so if you want to make one, check that recipe, swap tequila for rum, and add some Cointreau.
For my Tequila Day offering, I went in a bit of a different direction. Still basically a margarita build, but with some rich flavours to contrast the more aromatic tequila and ground cherry.
Recommended Brands:
•Cazadores Tequila
•Dillon’s Small Batch Golden Plum Schnapps
Goldenberry & Lemon Oleo:
•approx 100g chopped goldenberries/ground cherries
•approx 10g lemon peel
•approx 110g sugar
Set aside several berries from a clamshell pack and chop the rest in halves or quarters. Combine with as much lemon peel as you want in a large bowl—I used about 3/4 of a lemon’s worth. Weigh this and and add equal weight in sugar. Stir to combine. Cover and let rest until all sugar has dissolved, stirring regularly—took mine about 18 hours. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve, and bottle.",
