How to Make Agave Margarita

  1. Pour a small amount of kosher salt onto a small plate.
  2. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of an old-fashioned glass or coupe glass.
  3. Dip the rim of the glass into the salt.
  4. Combine the tequila, agave nectar, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker.
  5. Fill the shaker with ice.
  6. Shake vigorously until well-chilled (about 15-20 seconds).
  7. Strain the margarita into the prepared glass.
  8. Garnish with a lime wedge.
  9. **Fruity Variation:**
  10. Muddle 3 blackberries with 1/2 oz agave nectar in the cocktail shaker until the berries are slightly crushed and their juices are released.
  11. Continue with steps 4-8.
  12. **Spicy Variation:**
  13. Muddle 2 thin jalapeño rounds (remove seeds for a less spicy version) with 1/2 oz agave nectar in the cocktail shaker until the peppers begin to break down.
  14. Continue with steps 4-8.
  15. **Bright Variation:**
  16. Steep 1 hibiscus teabag or 1 teaspoon dried hibiscus flowers in 4 oz of hot water for 10 minutes.
  17. Remove the teabag/flowers and let the tea cool completely.
  18. Carefully layer a small amount of the cooled hibiscus tea over the margarita, creating a visually appealing red layer.
