Description
Raise a glass to sophistication with Champagne Margaritas! This delightful fusion of two beloved cocktails – margaritas and champagne – creates a drink that’s both refreshing and luxurious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup silver tequila
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup triple sec
- 1/4 cup champagne or sparkling wine
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Coarse salt, for rimming glasses
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Rim the Glasses: Begin by rimming each glass with salt for added flavor and visual appeal. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it, then dip the rims into coarse salt to coat them evenly.
- Prepare the Glasses: Fill each salt-rimmed glass with ice cubes to chill them and keep your Champagne Margaritas refreshingly cold.
- Mix the Margarita Mixture: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the silver tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec. Shake the mixture vigorously until it’s well chilled and perfectly blended.
- Strain into Glasses: Using a cocktail strainer, carefully strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glasses, ensuring that the ice stays in the shaker.
- Top with Champagne: Once the glasses are filled with the margarita mixture, top each one with a generous splash of champagne or sparkling wine. The effervescence of the champagne adds a delightful sparkle to the drink.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each Champagne Margarita with a lime wedge for a pop of color and citrus aroma. Serve the drinks immediately to enjoy them at their freshest and most flavorful.
