Ingredients

FOR THE MARGARITA:
4 oz tequila blanco
2 oz orange liqueur
1 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
1 oz raspberry simple syrup
2 tbsp Raspberry Margarita Salt, for the rim
A handful of fresh raspberries & lime wedges, for garnish
FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

Preparation Instructions:

First, make the raspberry simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing gently to extract all that berry goodness. Cool completely.

Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip the rims into a shallow plate of Raspberry Margarita Salt, twisting gently to coat. Set aside.

In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, raspberry syrup, and a few ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds—until chilled and perfectly blended.

Fill each prepared glass with fresh ice. Strain the margarita into the glasses. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lime wedge for a pop of color. Enjoy!
