Lime Margaritas with Lime-Infused Ice

·

Are you ready for THE best margs? The lime-infused ice, which is so easy to make, adds more lime flavor to the drink as you sip it. And the presentation will impress your dinner guests, for sure! Just remember to prepare the ice the night before the party. Or just make them now, so you have them whenever you might want a margarita!


I typically drink exclusively wine, but when I want a fun drink—something more fun that rose or champagne—I have a margarita. I think I just like tequila more than vodka or gin, and margaritas are quite versatile. I do enjoy spicy margaritas a lot, and if you do, too, then check out my Spicy Grapefruit Margaritas with Jalapeño-Infused Ice!


There’s no need for fancy cocktail equipment to make great margaritas. I always have luck with just a large mason jar to shake it up. 


The necessary tools for this recipe are a square ice mold, a cocktail shaker or large mason jar, and a plate for the salt. Enjoy, and leave a comment below if you try it!

Ingredients

  • 5 limes: 1 sliced thin, 3 juiced + 1 halved to salt the glass rims
  • 1 cup tequila
  • 1/4 cup Cointreau
  • 2 tbsp honey (agave nectar for vegan)
  • Ice for the cocktail shaker
  • 2 tbsp salt

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the lime ice cubes. The night before you plan to drink the margaritas, take a square ice mold and fill each square almost full with water. Take the 2 sliced limes and place 2 lime pieces per square in the mould. Ensure that the squares in the mold are not full, as water expands as it freezes. Freeze overnight. 


Step 2

Make the margaritas. Place the juice of 3 limes, the tequila, Cointreau and honey in a cocktail shaker or large mason jar. Fill with ice and shake until mixed. Make sure the honey has dissolved, as well. Pour the salt on a small plate. Run 1/2 lime around the rim of each glass to wet. Then turn the rim of the glass to the plate and turn in a circle to salt the rims. Place one square lime-infused ice cube in each glass. Strain the margarita into each glass to finish.
