A tipple of ginger liqueur adds zip and complexity to this tart cherry riff on a margarita. To prep a batch for friends, add the ingredients to a jar the night before and refrigerate. When cocktail hour arrives you can simply add ice to the jar, stir, and strain the ruby red elixir into glasses.

CHERRY MARGARITA

Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 1-2 drinks, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/2 ounces tequila
tart cherry juice
margarita mix

Steps:

  • Fill a 16 oz glass 3/4-way full with ice.
  • Pour in tequila.
  • Fill the glass with equal parts cherry juice and margarita mix.
  • Serve on the rocks or blended.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes and cherries. Fresh limes and cherries will give your margarita the best flavor. If you can't find fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.
  • Use a good quality tequila. The tequila is the main ingredient in a margarita, so it's important to use a good quality tequila. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, clean flavor.
  • Don't over-shake the margarita. Over-shaking the margarita will make it watery and dilute the flavor. Shake the margarita just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Serve the margarita immediately. Margaritas are best served immediately, while they are still cold and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Cherry margaritas are a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your margaritas sweet, sour, or somewhere in between, there is a cherry margarita recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give a cherry margarita a try.
