Today, we’re shaking things up with a winter-inspired twist on a classic margarita. This Winter Margarita with Reposado Tequila is sure to warm you up from the inside out. So, grab your shakers and let’s get started!

Key Ingredients
This Winter Margarita features two key ingredients: Reposado Tequila and Mezcal. We’ve chosen Reposado Tequila for its mellow, slightly woody flavor that’s been aged just long enough to give it a hint of complexity. Mezcal, on the other hand, adds a smoky depth that sets this margarita apart from its summertime counterpart.
How to Make
Making this Winter Margarita is simple, yet it requires a bit of finesse. First, you’ll want to combine your Reposado Tequila, Mezcal, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup in a shaker. Then, add a pinch of salt and an egg white for a frothy, velvety texture. Shake it up and strain it into a glass. For an extra touch, garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of rosemary.
Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips to help you perfect your Winter Margarita:
1. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
2. Don’t skip the egg white! It gives the cocktail a creamy, smooth texture.
3. If you’re not a fan of smoky flavors, you can reduce the amount of Mezcal or omit it altogether.
4. For a festive touch, rim your glass with a mix of salt and sugar.
