We Missed National Margarita Day but that is no Excuse not to Try These Cocktails with Tequila Corralejo

FROM THE WIRES...

Rooted in over 250 years of Mexican heritage, Tequila Corralejo is crafted using time-honored techniques, including the rare Charentais copper pot still distillation method. This process enhances the agave’s natural character and results in a smooth, flavorful tequila. These traditions make it the perfect foundation for a margarita, whether classic or cutting-edge.

• Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Tequila Corralejo Reposado 

  • 0.75 oz fresh lime juice

  • 0.5 oz Magdala Orange Liqueur

  Method:

  Shake with ice and strain into a salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and fresh mint leaves for a bright, aromatic finish.
