Ingredients for Fresh Raspberry Margarita Mix

To create the perfect fresh raspberry margarita, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
• 1/4 cup of agave syrup or simple syrup
• 1/4 cup of triple sec or Cointreau
• 1 cup of AgaveLuz Tequila
• Ice cubes
• Lime wedges and extra raspberries for garnish
• Salt or sugar for rimming the glass (optional)
  

Fresh Raspberry Margarita Recipe

1. Prepare the Glasses: If you prefer a salted or sugared rim, start by rimming your glasses. Rub a lime wedge around the edge of each glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt or sugar.
2. Blend the Raspberries: In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and freshly squeezed lime juice. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. This will give you a smooth raspberry puree.
3. Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the raspberry puree, agave syrup, triple sec, and AgaveLuz Tequila. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until well chilled.
4. Serve the Margarita: Fill each prepared glass with ice and pour the fresh raspberry margarita mix over the ice. Add a lime wedge and a handful of extra raspberries for garnish.
5. Enjoy: Sip and enjoy the refreshing taste of your homemade fresh raspberry margarita!

Adding a Spicy Twist: Raspberry Jalapeno Margarita

For those who love a bit of spice, the raspberry jalapeno margarita offers a tantalizing twist on the classic fresh raspberry margarita. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients for Raspberry Jalapeno Margarita

Raspberry Jalapeno Margarita Recipe

1. Prepare the Glasses: Rim your glasses with salt or sugar if desired, using the same method as described for the fresh raspberry margarita.

3. Infuse the Jalapenos: Add the jalapeno slices to the raspberry puree and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse. If you prefer a milder spice level, remove the seeds from the jalapenos before adding them.
4. Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the raspberry jalapeno puree, agave syrup, triple sec, and AgaveLuz Organic Tequila. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake well for about 20 seconds.
5. Serve the Margarita: Fill each prepared glass with ice and pour the raspberry jalapeno margarita mix over the ice. Garnish with lime wedges, jalapeno slices, and extra raspberries.

Tips for the Perfect Fresh Raspberry Margarita

1. Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh raspberries and freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. It’s best to steer clear of bottled lime juice due to its potential bitter taste.
2. Adjust the Sweetness: The sweetness of your margarita can be adjusted by adding more or less agave syrup. Taste the mix before shaking and adjust according to your preference.
3. Experiment with Garnishes: Enhance the presentation and flavor of your margarita by experimenting with different garnishes such as mint leaves, lime zest, or even a sugar rim.
4. Chill the Glasses: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes before serving the margaritas.
5. Spice Control: If you’re making a raspberry jalapeno margarita, control the spice level by adjusting the number of jalapeno slices and removing the seeds if desired.
