Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces tequila
  • 1 ounce Midori
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • Tajín seasoning for rimming (optional)
  • Lime slice for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • To prepare the glass, rub a lime wedge around the rim, then dip it into a plate of Tajín seasoning to create a spicy, flavorful rim (optional).
  • In an empty cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, Midori, and lime juice.
  • Add ice to the shaker, then shake vigorously until the mixture is well-chilled.
  • Strain the cocktail into the prepared margarita glass.
  • Garnish with a lime slice, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For an extra layer of flavor, try using a reposado tequila, which adds subtle oak and vanilla notes.
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice makes a noticeable difference in taste, bringing more brightness to the cocktail.
  • Adjust the amount of Tajín on the rim to your liking; a light coating adds just a hint of spice, while a heavier layer offers more heat.
