Tips for Making the BEST Margaritas
- Chill your glasses ahead of time to help ensure the cocktail remains cool to the very last sip.
- Choose premium liquors for the best results. You don’t need to reach for the top shelf but at least avoid scraping the bottom of the barrel.
- To make sure your cocktail is properly chilled, consider using larger ice cubes. They melt slower and won’t water down your drink as quickly.
- For a stronger fruit flavour your can muddle a mixture of mango and melon in a cocktail shaker. Make sure you strain the cocktail for a more smooth mouthfeel.
- Garnish with lime wheels, mango and/or melon pieces.
- Enjoy your margarita and don’t forget to drink responsibly. Cheers!
About the Ingredients for Mango Melon Margarita
Tequila – I used Jose Cuervo “Gold” tequila but any blanco or resposado tequilas will work well in a Margarita.
Triple Sec – Any orange liqueur will do in it’s place.
Grand Marnier – Grand Marnier is a good choice here but you could opt for any orange flavoured liqueur.
Cantaloupe syrup – I used Torani cantaloupe syrup instead.
Mango nectar – Can also use mango juice instead, but mango nectar will give you the best results.
Margarita mix – Use your favourite Margarita mix.
