Sherbet Orange Margarita Recipe

Prepare the Glass:

If you’re feeling fancy, rim your glass with salt.

Run a lime wedge around the rim and dip it into a plate of salt, creating a tantalizing contrast to the sweetness of the drink.

Build the Base:

In a shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice over ice.

Shake well to ensure a perfect marriage of flavors.

Add the Sherbet:

Drop three generous scoops of orange sherbet into the shaker.

The sherbet’s velvety texture will add a creamy richness to the mix, balancing the sharpness of the tequila and the zing of the lime.

Shake it Up:

Shake the mixture vigorously to break down the sherbet and create a luscious, frothy texture.

The goal is to achieve a smooth blend of the ingredients, with the sherbet adding a dreamy consistency.

Strain and Pour:

Strain the mixture into your prepared glass, either over ice or straight up, depending on your preference.

Garnish with Finesse:

Garnish your Orange Sherbet Margarita with fresh mint leaves or a slice of orange. 

The aromatic essence of mint will complement the citrus notes of the drink. 

Sherbet Orange Margarita: FAQS

Can I make this margarita ahead of time?

Yes! You can definitely make this drink ahead.  The margarita will last up to 12 hours in the fridge.

What tequila should I use? 

 I prefer Tequila Blanco because it is a clear spirit that doesn’t have any oak barrel aging.

This gives it a clean, smooth flavor that is perfect for cocktails.

If you do not have Tequila Blanco, feel free to use another type of tequila such as Reposado or Anejo.

These types of tequila are aged in oak barrels, which will give your drink a different flavor profile.

Can I make this margarita for a crowd? 

You can definitely make this cocktail for as many people as you wish by doubling or tripling the recipe.

If you have a blender, you can add all the ingredients into it then just pour into glasses afterwards
