Agave

If you prefer a sweeter margarita, you can add agave for a natural sweetener! I would start with a teaspoon of agave. It is very sweet so sometimes a small bit can go a long way. If you want it sweeter, then you can add a tablespoon. This will all depend on personal preference.

Cocktail Directions

  1. Using a lime, rim your cocktail glass with lime juice
  2. Roll the edge of your glass in salt, or tajin if you prefer a little bit of a spike, until the rim is completely covered.
  3. Pour your tequila, triple sec and lime juice into a shaker. Top with ice.
  4. Shake all ingredients until your cocktail is properly chilled.
  5. Carefully strain the cocktail into your cocktail glass
  6. Garnish with a lime wedge
  7. ENJOY!
