Ingredients
To Rim the Glasses
- ¼ cup coarse sugar I use cake decorating sugar
- ¼ cup margarita or Kosher salt
- 1 lemon zested
For the Cocktail:
- 2 ounces frozen lemonade concentrate
- 2 ounces cold water
- 2 ounces orange liqueur
- 3 ounces Blanco or Silver Tequila
- 2 ounces Limoncello
- ½ ounces Simple Syrup heat 1/2 cup of water with one cup of sugar until sugar dissolves. Add 1/2 cup of ice and stir until melted. Store leftover syrup in fridge
- 1 lemon zested
Garnish
- Lemon Slices
Instructions
To Make the Rimming Sugar
- Combine the sugar, salt & lemon zest. Spread on a cookie sheet in a thin layer and allow to dry. (You can rim the cocktail before it is dry but if storing any leftovers; leave it out until completely dry to the touch).
To Prepare the Cocktails
- Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with lemon and dip into the lemon salt/sugar mixture.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice (I put ice into a plastic bag, cover it with a cloth and pound it with a meat mallet!)
- Pour the cocktail ingredients into a cocktail shaker and fill the shaker with ice; cover and shake until the container is ice cold.
- Pour the mixture into the ice filled glasses and garnish each with a lemon slice.
Cheers!
Notes
You will have leftover of the lemon rimming salt. Be sure it is completely dry before storing in a plastic bag. Great for any margarita! Do the same with lime zest and you'll have my two favorites on hand!
