Here is a simple recipe for making a mint margarita:
Ingredients:
2 oz tequila
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
6-8 fresh mint leaves
Ice
Salt or sugar for rimming the glass (optional)
Lime wedges for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice and simple syrup until the leaves are bruised and fragrant.
Add the tequila and a handful of ice to the shaker.
Shake the mixture vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Rim a glass with salt or sugar (optional), and fill it with ice.
Strain the margarita mixture into the glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge and additional mint leaves, if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
Note: You can adjust the sweetness of the margarita by adding more or less simple syrup, depending on your preference. You can also add a splash of soda water or orange liqueur for a little extra fizz and flavor.
