raspberry rose margarita
The prettiest little sip for your springtime spread.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
- 4-6 mint leaves
- 1 tbsp honey, or to taste
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz Cointreau (orange liqueur)
- 1 oz rose water
- 2 oz tequila
Instructions
- On a shallow plate or bowl, sift together the sugar and lemon zest. Rub a lime or lemon wedge around the rim of a glass. Dip and swirl the rim into the sugar and gently shake off excess. You will have sugar leftover - more cocktails! Woohoo!
- In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle the raspberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and honey until juicy. Add the Cointreau, rose water, and tequila. Shake with ice and strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with extra raspberries and mint leaves, as desired.
Notes
*Rose water: Be sure to purchase culinary rose water and not cosmetic. I used this brand, but a few different ones exist and you can usually find them in Middle Eastern markets or at Whole Foods.
