Sparkling Margaritas

Sweet, tart, and bubbly fresh squeezed sparkling margaritas made with elderflower liquor (St. Germaine), cava or sparkling wine / champagne, tequila, and fresh squeezed lemon and lime juice (or sour mix). The recipe and other cinco de mayo margarita inspiration is available on The Wood and Spoon Blog // thewoodandspoon.com

Sparkling margaritas are a sweet and bubbling version of the classic cocktail, flavored with elderflower liquor and champagne.

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 11/2 ounce elderflower liquor (like St. Germaine)
  • 1 ounce tequila blanco
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup (optional-see notes)
  • 2 ounces sparkling wine ( or cava/champagne)

Instructions

  1. Combine the lime juice, elderflower liquor, tequila, and simple syrup (optional)in a shaker and fill with ice. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. Pour the contents of the shaker in a tall glass and top with the cava. Stir gently and enjoy!

Notes

  • Serve with a salted and sugared glass rim, if desired.
  • I prefer a dry sparkling wine for this recipe.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add the 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. This is optional and should be used according to your taste.
