Vodka Margarita

The BEST Vodka Margarita

Can you make a margarita with vodka instead of tequila? Absolutely. It is a crisp, clean margarita and a little less sweet than the traditional. (If you love the sweetness that tequila adds to this cocktail, you can add a splash of more simple syrup.)

Ingredients:

• Vodka, 1½ oz
• Orange liqueur, 1 oz
• Lime juice, 1 oz
• Lime garnish
• Simple syrup, splash – optional
• Coarse salt – optional

Instructions:

For a salt-rimmed glass, pour a shallow layer of salt in a dish, squeeze a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, and dip the rim in salt. Add vodka, orange liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using) to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until cold. Strain into glass. Garnish with lime.
