Ingredients
- 1 ounce (29ml) tequila
- ½ ounce (15ml) lime juice freshly squeezed
- ½ ounce (15ml) Triple Sec
- ¼ cup (59ml) champagne or enough to fill the glass
Instructions
To make this on the rocks;
- Fill a rocks glass with ice.
- Add tequila, lime juice, and Triple Sec.
- Stir gently to combine then top with champagne and serve immediately.
To make as a shaken cocktail;
- Fill a cocktail shaker (or glass jar) with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, and triple sec.
- Shake until chilled, for about 30 seconds.
- Pour into a glass, top it off with champagne, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Both tequila and champagne can have high price points. Go all out and buy top-shelf versions of both or pick one to splurge on.
- Don’t forget to garnish. Rim the glass with homemade margarita salt/sugar and garnish with a lime.
- Pick a bottle of balanced champagne, rather than one that is too sweet or too dry.
- Go Pink – Pink is a lot of fun for a bridal shower or festive girls night out. Swap out the traditional champagne for pink champagne for a lovely twist.
- Try Vodka – No tequila on hand? No problem. Use vodka instead.
- Add Orange Juice – If you don’t have Triple Sec available, you can use fresh orange juice instead.
- There are 5 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
