5-INGREDIENT GINGER BEER MARGARITAS

By mm_food4me

5-Ingredient margaritas made with ginger beer and fresh lime juice! Simple, flavorful, and so delicious. The only margarita recipe you'll ever need.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces (3 Tbsps) 100% agave tequila (such as Altos)
• 1 ounce (2 Tbsp) fresh lime juice
• 3 ounces (6 Tbsp) ginger beer
• 1/2 ounce (1 Tbsp) simple syrup
• optional: Coarse salt for lining rim

Preparation

Step 1

Line a small serving glass with fresh lime juice and dip in coarse salt (optional).
Add tequila, simple syrup, ginger beer and lime juice to a large glass or cocktail shaker with 1/2 cup ice and stir vigorously. Don't shake with a lid on or it will erupt from the ginger beer carbonation (lesson learned).
Pour liquid (reserving ice) into serving glass with a few ice cubes (we just ordered this oversized ice cube mold and LOVE it). Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately. Repeat for more drinks, or double/triple the amounts for more people.
