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 cantaloupe flavour your can muddle diced melon in the cocktail shaker. Make sure you strain the cocktail for a more smooth mouthfeel.
• Garnish with lime wheels and melon pieces.

How to Make a Melon Margarita Mocktail

If you are serving someone who prefers an alcohol-free drink, this melon mocktail is the perfect choice.

To make it a mocktail, simply replace the tequila and grand marnier with more cantaloupe juice.

This is a great way to adjust the recipe for kids to enjoy too!

About the Ingredients for Melon Margarita

Tequila – I used Jose Cuervo “Gold” tequila but any blanco or resposado tequilas will work well in a Margarita.

Grand Marnier – Grand Marnier is a good choice here but you could opt for any orange flavoured liqueur.

Honeydew Melon syrup – If you can’t find this, you can use Torani cantaloupe syrup instead.

Cantaloupe Agua fresca juice – In a pinch you could also use watermelon juice or make fresh cantaloupe juice.

Margarita mix – Use your favourite Margarita mix.
