It’s a Margherita Margarita! Do you see what I did there?!
Maybe it’s the Italian in me, but one of my favorite things about summer will always be TOMATOES! As soon as I saw the flavor bombs cherry tomatoes at my grocery store, I knew it was time to make this Margherita Margarita I’ve been dreaming about for a while now!
No surprise here- but this cherry tomato and basil combo is truly unmatched! It’s of course a savory marg, but still has that perfect amount of summer sweetness that I think you’re going to love 🫶🏼
Looking for a nonalcoholic version? I loved whipping up my Margherita Mockarita!
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz tequila
1/2 oz orange liqueur
5 cherry tomatoes
3 basil leaves
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz agave
METHOD:
Start by brushing the side of your glass with agave, then sprinkle with salt. Place in the freezer to set while you make your margarita.
Add tomatoes, basil, lime juice and agave to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until tomatoes burst and everything is combined.
Add tequila and orange liqueur. Add ice and shake until chilled.
Double strain into prepped glass filled with ice. Garnish with fresh basil and a cherry tomato, and enjoy!
