Italian Margarita
Italian margaritas are a fun twist on a regular margarita! This copycat Italian margarita includes amaretto for a touch of sweetness and depth and fresh lime juice for a touch of sour.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz tequila
- 1 oz amaretto or almond liquor
- .5 oz triple sec or orange liquor
- 1 oz lime juice, fresh
- sugar and salt optional, for rim of glass
Instructions
- If rimming the glass with salt and sugar, onto a small plate add salt and sugar and mix to combine. Take the lime and cut it in half. Run the lime over the edge of the glass to wet the rim. Dip the rim of the glass in the salt and sugar mixture. Set the glass aside.
- Into a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, amaretto, triple sec, and lime juice. Add ice to the shaker.
- Shake for 20-30 seconds. Strain into the martini glass.
