A delightful twist on the classic margarita, featuring Italian-inspired flavors and a vibrant presentation.
Prepare the rim of the margarita glass by moistening it with a lime wedge and dipping it into colored sugar on a small plate.
Use a plate larger than the glass rim for easier dipping.
Fill the glass with ice to chill it while you prepare the drink.
Use crushed ice for a quicker chilling effect.
In a shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, sweet and sour mix, and a squeeze of lime juice. Shake well.
Shake vigorously to ensure the ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
Pour the mixture into the prepared glass, straining out the ice.
Hold the strainer firmly to avoid spills.
Serve with a shot of amaretto on the side and garnish with a fresh orange slice on the rim.
Encourage your guests to mix the amaretto into the drink for a delightful twist.
