Instructions

Description: The Crimson Sunset Margarita is a visually striking and refreshingly tangy cocktail that showcases the beauty of simplicity. With common ingredients found in most home bars, this cocktail offers a twist on the classic margarita with the addition of a splash of grenadine for a gradient effect that mimics a breathtaking sunset. It balances the tartness of lime with the sweetness of the orange liqueur and grenadine, all underpinned by the clear, crisp flavor of a good tequila. Ingredients: - 2 oz Tequila (preferably blanco for a clean taste) - 1 oz Orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau) - 1 oz Fresh lime juice (about one lime) - 1/2 oz Simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) - 1/2 oz Grenadine syrup - Ice cubes - Salt for rimming the glass - Lime wheel or wedge, for garnish Type of glass: Margarita glass Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing your margarita glass. Run a lime wedge around the rim to moisten it, and then dip the rim into a plate of salt, turning the glass until the rim is evenly coated. Set aside. 2. In a shaker, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. If you prefer a sweeter margarita, add simple syrup to your liking. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds or until the shaker feels cold to the touch. 4. Carefully fill the salt-rimmed margarita glass with fresh ice cubes, taking care not to disturb the salt. 5. Strain the shaken mixture over the ice in the glass. 6. Slowly pour the grenadine syrup into the drink over the back of a spoon or by drizzling it down the side of the glass. This should create a beautiful red to orange gradient that resembles a sunset. 7. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim of the glass. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors and colors of the Crimson Sunset Margarita.
