Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 1 oz triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 1 drop green food coloring
- Black salt for rimming the glass
- Ice (crushed or cubed)
- Optional dry ice for smoky effect
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Spread black salt onto a small plate. Wet the rim of your glass with lime juice and gently dip it into the salt, coating the edge evenly.
- Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and a drop of green food coloring. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass over fresh ice.
- Add Dry Ice (Optional): If using dry ice, carefully place a small piece into the glass with tongs. It will create a smoky, bubbling effect that lasts for several minutes.
- Garnish: Add a lime wheel or a small sprig of mint for a finishing touch.
