Equipment
Ingredients
For a Single Margarita
- 2 ounces fresh lime juice from about 2 limes
- 1 ounce fresh orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon alcohol free orange bitters or more to taste (The secret ingredient!)
- 2 teaspoons agave nectar plus more to taste, or maple syrup
- sparkling water lime or orange flavored if desired
- margarita salt or kosher salt for rimming the glass, optional
- lime zest to mix with salt for rimming the glass
- lime wedges for garnish and wetting the glass rim
- ice
Instructions
- For a salted rim (optional): in a wide, shallow dish stir salt and lime zest together with a fork. Run the flesh of a lime around the rim of your serving glass. Dip rim in the salt and lime zest mixture to coat with your desired amount of salt.
- Fill glass with ice.
- To a cocktail shaker add lime juice, orange juice, orange bitters, agave nectar and several ice cubes. Shake or stir until combined (10 to 15 seconds); taste and add more agave nectar if desired. Strain into ice filled glass. Top with sparkling water and stir gently to combine. Garnish with lime wedge and serve.
Notes
- For blended virgin margaritas, add drink ingredients to a high powered blender pitcher and blend until smooth.
