Description
The Double Citrus Margarita Martini – it’s the cocktail that’s twice as nice! As in a double shot of tequila, double the fruit juices with grapefruit and lime, and double the ways to serve it. Try it shaken and served “up” in classic martini style, or over ice with a salted rim in classic margarita style – you decide!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 shots (1/2 cup) of tequila, I used a reposada style, but any type will work
- 1 grapefruit, juiced, about a cup of juice
- 1 lime, juiced, about 4 tablespoons
- 2 shots (4 tablespoons) simple syrup
- 1 shot (2 tablespoons) maraschino liquor
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake until cold. Serve up in a martini glass, or on the rocks like a margarita (salted rim optional!). Bottoms up!
Notes
To make simple syrup, place 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Store in a jar in the fridge.
