Maxwell Park Margarita

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Maxwell Park Platinum Blanco Tequila
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.75 oz orange liqueur
  • 0.25 oz agave nectar (optional)
  • Flaky salt for the rim

Instructions

  1. 1

    Salt half the rim of a chilled coupe or rocks glass.

  2. 2

    Combine tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur and agave in a shaker with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake hard for 12 seconds until the tin frosts.

  4. 4

    Strain into the glass — over fresh ice if serving on the rocks.

  5. 5

    Garnish with a lime wheel and serve immediately.

Glassware & Garnish

Serve in a coupe or rocks glass, garnished with lime wheel, half salt rim.

Editor's note: Because the blanco carries pear and apple notes, skip the agave nectar the first time and taste before sweetening.
