The Elderflower Margarita

July 31, 2020

It was freaking 180 degrees out! But it was a dry heat. I had heard of Elderflower for drinks, many of which are made with Sparkling Wine, and/or Rosemary. I expected it to be a dry, more savory taste. Tena bought some and it turned out to be sweet and very refreshing!  For tonight’s cocktail I Googled Tequila, Elderflower Liqueur and Key Lime.  Elderflower Margarita Margarita’s popped up.  Oven on high hot outside and a Margarita, of course!!!

 5 oz Jimmy Buffet Key Lime Tequila

3 oz St. Elder Elderflower Liqueur

2 oz Fresh Lime Juice (in this case Key Limes, yum!)

1 ½ oz Simple Syrup

Tejen for the rim of the glass

Rim the glasses with the cut lime and then the Tajin and then fill them with ice.

Fill a shaker with ice, add all the ingredients.  Shake until the shaker is to cold to hold and strain the contents into the glasses.
