BECAUSE WHO DOESN’T LOVE A GOOD MARGARITA!
There is just something about a good classic margarita.
I don’t know about you but there is something about a good margarita that makes me feel like I’m on vacation. I could literally be in my living room sipping on one but immediately get those carefree vibes!
I find most margaritas too sugary, with way too much agave syrup added in. Here is how I make my killer margarita at home!
If you do enjoy a slight bit sweeter margarita, you can add a few drops of monk fruit sweetener, but personally the cointreau and orange juice is good for me.
I warn you, these babies might be lower in sugar, but they pack a punch so please drink responsibly!
Want to give your margarita a little twist?
- add a few slices of fresh jalapeños for a spicy margarita.
- Add some fresh tropical fruit like mango or pineapple or swap the orange juice to pineapple juice for a more tropical flavor.
- Add fresh spices to the mix like ginger, lemongrass, or lime leaves for a fresh take.
- Throw some strawberries in while blending for a beautiful pink and fruity version.
