Frozen Rosalita image

Where a margarita is usually sweetened with orange liqueur, the Rosalita uses amaro instead. This frozen cocktail goes in the freezer before blending.

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 Tbsp. plus ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
Lime wedge (for serving)
4 oz. tequila reposado and/or mezcal
1½ oz. fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 oz. Amaro Montenegro
¾ oz. agave nectar
Special Equipment
A 1-pint glass jar

Steps:

  • Pour salt onto a small plate. Rub half of rim of 2 wine glasses or tumblers with lime wedge. Gently dip rims in salt, turning slowly to coat.
  • Combine tequila, lime juice, amaro, and agave in jar. Secure lid and shake to combine. Freeze until ice-cold but not solid, at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
  • Transfer cocktail to a blender and add 1½ cups ice. Purée on high speed until thick and smooth. (On a hot day you may need to blend in a few more ice cubes to thicken, but keep in mind that the more you add, the more diluted the drink will be.)
  • Divide cocktail between prepared glasses.
