Instructions
Prepare the Rim
- If you would like a salted rim, run the lime slice along the rim of the margarita glass. Pour sea salt onto a small plate and swirl the moistened rim into the salt to adhere. Set aside.
Mix the Drink
- Add the raspberries and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until the raspberries are well-pulverized.
- Pour in the tequila, Chambord and lime juice and add a handful of ice.
- Put on the cocktail shaker top. Vigorously shake for 15-30 seconds.
- Replace the top with the Hawthorne or cocktail strainer and strain into an ice-filled glass. If desired, garnish with a lime wheel. Enjoy!
Notes
- Chambord is a black raspberry liqueur that adds depth and a sophisticated berry flavor to this margarita.
- For the best flavor, use fresh raspberries rather than frozen.
- Reposado tequila, which is aged for 2-12 months, adds more complex flavors than blanco tequila.
- Make a pitcher for parties by multiplying the ingredients and shaking in batches.
