Ingredients
Units
Scale
Black salt:
- 1 tbsp fine sea salt
- 1 activated charcoal capsule
- 1 lime wedge (for the glass rim)
Margarita:
- 1 1/2 oz blanco Tequila
- 1/2 oz Cointreau (or other orange liqueur)
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 dash orange bitters (optional)
- 1/2 oz maple syrup (or agave or simple syrup)
- 1 activated charcoal capsule
- Ice cubes
Instructions
Black salt:
- Add the fine sea salt to a small bowl and open up the charcoal capsule. Mix well and transfer to a small shallow plate.
- Run the lime wedge along the rim of your glass and dip it in the black salt. Set aside.
Margarita:
- Add the Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, orange bitters, and maple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Open up the capsule and add the powder to the shaker. Add a handful of ice and shake for a few seconds.
- Pour into the prepared glass over ice and enjoy.
Notes
- I like to add a splash of orange-flavored sparkling water sometimes to make the drink less strong. You can also serve this in a margarita glass without the ice which is more traditional.
- If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use a mason jar.
