In winter I love using citrus and making Margaritas with fresh citrus is so easy! I created these Burnt Citrus Margaritas to use up some of my favorite winter citrus and they just look so beautiful and delicious. I also burnt citrus slices to give the cocktails a little extra flavor and for the garnish to really make it pop!
Recipe:
- 2 ounces tequila or mezcal (mezcal makes it extra smokey)
- 1 ounce citrus of choice (Lime, Orange, Lemon or Grapefruit)
- 1 ounce triple sec
- Salt (for rimming)
Method:
- Rim your glass with salt
- Toast/burn citrus of choice
- Place the burnt citrus in a shaker tin
- Muddle citrus to extract juices
- Add tequila (mezcal) and triple sec into the cocktail shaker with ice
- Shake hard to mix and chill ingredients
- Fine/double strain into a cocktail glass
- Garnish with burnt citrus
- Enjoy!
