PERFECT BLUE AGAVE MARGARITA



Perfect Blue Agave Margarita image

A very simple and refreshing margarita made with silver tequila, fresh limes and blue agave nectar. Blue agave nectar is a very light and natural sweetener made from the blue agave plant. You can find it at your supermarket (Whole Foods/Sprouts) or online (Amazon). No need for additional sweeteners, triple sec or anything else. Just pure and simple and very smooth. My wife, who hates margaritas on the rocks, loves this mix.

1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (not bottled)
1/2 oz agave nectar (adjust up/down for sweetness)
1 oz fresh cool water
1 slice lime for garnish (optional)

Fill the glass to the top with ice. Add cocktail mixture to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until well chilled. About 30 seconds.
  • 4. Strain contents of shaker over the ice in the glass and garnish with slice of lime.
