Easy Maple Whiskey Margarita Cocktail

A fun twist on one of my very favorite cocktails, this whiskey Margarita swaps out the orange liqueur for whiskey and maple syrup. Fresh lime juice and tequila keep the spirit of the original Margarita and it gets shaken and served up on the rocks. Cheers!

  • 2 oz rye whiskey
  • 4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 2 oz maple syrup
  • Coarse sea salt or kosher salt and a lime wedge for rims of glasses

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rim the tops of two margarita or cocktail glasses with coarse salt by running a lime wedge around them and then pressing them into the salt-filled plate. Set glasses aside.
  2. In a small cup, blend whiskey and maple syrup until smooth.

Notes

  • Be sure to serve this cocktail as cold as possible. Pre chilled glasses are a nice touch.
