Spring Fling
This cocktail is a fun spring twist on the margarita. While a classic margarita traditionally contains lime, orange liqueur and agave, this version has lemon, Chareau and honey.
Chareau is an aloe liqueur that brings light floral citrus notes to the palate. This cocktail can be enjoyed at home with a few simple ingredients from your local vendors. Sip and enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 ounces Mijenta Tequila Blanco
- 1/4 ounce Chareau
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce honey syrup
Instructions
- Begin by making your honey syrup. This will require 1 cup of clover honey and 1/2 cup of warm water.
- Combine and stir until your honey has a thin consistency.
- Next squeeze the lemons and strain the juice with a fine mesh strainer to catch all the pulp.
- Put all your ingredients into a shaker tin filled with ice. Shake well for 15 seconds. Serve in a chilled Champagne flute. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
