Sexy Mexi Margarita
The key ingredient in my Sexy Mexi Margarita is a homemade lavender simple syrup. The lavender aroma and flavor blends almost seamlessly with the tequila, and a little freshly squeezed lime juice further enhances this combination.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
For the Lavender Simple Syrup
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds
For the Margarita
- 2 parts Tequila Blanco
- 1 part lavender simple syrup
- 1/2 part freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 to 4 blackberries
- Ice
Instructions
- Prepare the lavender simple syrup by combining the water, sugar, and lavender buds in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. After the mixture has reduced by a third to half, about 10 minutes, remove from heat and let cool. Strain into a jar to reserve the liquid and discard the buds.
- Coat the rims of your glasses with the simple syrup or lime juice and dip in salt. Set aside.
- Muddle the blackberries in the lime juice and add this mixture to your blender or shaker.
- Add ice, the Tequila and simple syrup to your shaker or blender and mix to desired consistency and to thoroughly blend all ingredients. Serve in the salted glasses and enjoy.
