BLENDED MARGARITA RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour some kosher salt into a small dish; rub 1 lime slice over half the rim of an Old Fashioned glass (if you prefer your Margarita on the rocks) or a coupe glass (if you prefer it up). Dip rim of glass into salt.
• Combine tequila, agave syrup, and juice in a cocktail shaker; fill with ice and shake well.
• Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with second lime slice.
• DIFFERENT VARIATIONS -.
• Fruity: Muddle 3 blackberries with agave syrup in a cocktail shaker until berries are lightly crushed and juices are released. Continue with above recipe.
• Spicy: Muddle 2 thin rounds of jalapeno with agave syrup in a cocktail shaker until peppers begin to fall apart. For a less-spicy version, remove the seeds first. Continue with above recipe.
• Bright: Steep 1 hibiscus teabag or 1 teaspoons dried hibiscus flowers with 4 oz. of hot water for 10 minutes. Discard tea bag/flowers and let tea cool. Gently spoon some tea OVER margarita, forming a red layer on top. (STUNNING!).

Steps:

• Place the salt on a small plate. Place a splash of pomegranate juice on another small plate. Dip just the rims of two glasses in the pomegranate juice, then dip in the salt. In a cocktail shaker, combine the pomegranate juice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, maple syrup and ice. Shake for 10-20 seconds to chill thoroughly, then strain into two glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of lime and a few pomegranate seeds, if you like.
