Instructions

To make the margaritas:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a tall shaker and fill with ice. Shake vigorously for 30 second to allow
    the ice to melt and the mixture to chill. Pour the contents of a shaker into a salt rimmed glass
    and enjoy!

To make the ginger syrup:

  1. Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, on medium-low
    heat until simmering. Allow to cook for an additional 25 minutes on low heat. Strain the ginger
    out of the syrup and chill in a heat proof container until cold.

Notes

  • The syrup recipe will produce enough to make several margaritas.
  • Only fresh ginger will work for this recipe. Ginger powder, bottled minced ginger, and pickled
    ginger are not recommended.
