Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Margarita:
  • 2 oz tequila silver or reposado
  • 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 oz triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1 oz raspberry puree fresh or frozen raspberries blended
  • 1 oz simple syrup adjust to taste
  • Lime wedges and fresh raspberries for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Directions
  • Prepare the Raspberry Puree:
  • If using fresh raspberries, simply blend them until smooth. If using frozen, allow them to thaw before blending. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired.
  • Mix the Margarita:
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, raspberry puree, and simple syrup.
  • Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
  • Shake It Up:
  • Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain and Serve:
  • If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. If not, pour it directly into your glass.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and fresh raspberries.
  • Enjoy:
  • Sip and enjoy the refreshing flavors of your homemade Raspberry Lime Margarita!
  • Variations
  • Frozen Raspberry Lime Margarita: Blend all ingredients with ice until slushy for a frozen treat.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a slice of jalapeƱo to the shaker for a spicy kick.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute the tequila and triple sec with soda water and add more raspberry puree for a mocktail.
  • Flavored Variations: Try using other berries like strawberries or blackberries for a different flavor profile.
