Fresh Mint Margaritas
Bright, herbaceous margaritas where fresh mint mingles with tequila, lime, and orange liqueur for a refreshing cocktail that tastes like springtime in a glass. The gentle muddling technique releases the mint's essential oils without turning the drink bitter, making this an easy crowd-pleaser.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
If you would like salt-rimmed glasses, begin by running a lime slice (the juicy part) around the top rim of a glass. Fill a shallow bowl with salt, and dip the rim of the glass in the salt to coat with salt. Set aside.
2
Add tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, mint sprigs and a few ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Using a cocktail muddler or the end of a wooden spoon, muddle the mint briefly. Cover and shake vigorously for ⏱️ 10 seconds, or until the drink is chilled. Then give it a taste, and add in extra sweetener or mint if desired.
