Margarita Recipe

Choose and prepare rim

Select sugar, coarse salt, or Tajín for the rim. Pour about 1 tablespoon of the chosen rim ingredient onto a small plate and spread into a shallow layer.

Run a lime wedge around the outer edge of your serving glass (rocks or coupe). Hold the glass at a slight angle and press the moistened rim into the plate of rim seasoning, rotating to coat evenly. Set the glass aside to dry while you mix the cocktail.

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup).

Add 2 oz Lyre’s Non-Alcoholic Agave Blanco, 1 oz Lyre’s Orange Aperitivo, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave syrup to the shaker.

Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This chills and properly dilutes the cocktail.

If you prefer a smoother, slightly diluted drink, perform a double-strain: open the shaker, pour through a Hawthorne strainer and fine mesh strainer into a jigger, then into your prepared glass over fresh serving ice (about 1/2 cup). For a neat (no-ice) presentation, strain directly into the rimmed glass without serving ice.

Optional: If you want a lightly sparkling finish, top with 1 oz club soda. Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine.

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

Sweetness: Taste and adjust — add an extra 0.25 oz agave syrup if you prefer sweeter. Citrus: If limes are small or not very juicy, increase lime juice to 1.25 oz for brightness.

Rim tip: For a visually appealing half-rim, only dip half the glass rim in the seasoning. For a finer sugar rim, use superfine sugar; for a savory bite use coarse salt; for spice choose Tajín.
