Italian Margarita Cocktail Recipe

A few years ago, on a road trip from Texas to Tennessee, we stopped for dinner and noticed something called an Italian Margarita on the menu, so I ordered one to share. And then another. Soon after, I experimented at home until I re-created a version of the yummy concoction that we like the best. Margarita Thursday, as they’re sometimes known in my house, often feature this Italian Margarita Cocktail Recipe.

I like drinking these margaritas out of a fancy margarita glass with sugar on the rim, but sometimes I use mason jar glasses with straws (pictured above). You can also double or triple the recipe, rather than making one at a time.

2. Put sugar in a separate bowl or on a separate plate

6. Wash and then cut an orange and a lime into quarters; then squeeze the juice of one orange quarter into the shaker and then the juice of one lime quarter into the shaker.

9. Alternatively, you can skip the sugar rim and use a mason gar with a straw. You can also double or triple the recipe and make a small pitcher to share. 🙂
