In celebration of National Margarita Day, the George Clooney-founded spirits brand reveals its expert method for crafting a top-quality classic cocktail

It may be a grey, miserable Monday in February, but that's no reason not to get into the festive spirit of National Margarita Day. The team at Casamigos Tequila have shared their recipe for the perfect margarita cocktail, made using 100% Blue Weber agave tequila grown in the Mexican highlands. Balanced with zesty citrus and smooth agave nectar, the method makes for a truly classic serve.

  • 30ml fresh lime juice
  • 10ml fresh orange juice
  • 30ml agave nectar
  • 30ml orange liqueur

Optional: Salt/sugar/orange zest 

METHOD

Combine all ingredients in the shaker. Add ice, shake vigorously and strain into rimmed rocks glass. Add fresh ice and garnish with a lime wheel through a skewer. For an added kick, roll the rim of the glass in a salt/sugar/orange zest mixture.
