Italian Margarita
Report
Looking for a different twist on a classic margarita? This sweet Italian Margarita still tastes like a margarita, but calls for famous Italian almond-flavored liqueur for a unique taste.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz. silver tequila
- 1 ½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz. simple syrup
- ¾ oz. Amaretto liqueur
- Lime wedges or twists for garnish
Instructions
- Rim a margarita glass with granulated sugar. Fill with ice, and set aside.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Measure the tequila, lime juice, simple syrup and amaretto in a cocktail shaker.
- Shake until the ingredients are cold and combined.
- Pour into the prepared margarita glass.
- Garnish the margarita with a wedge of lime, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This recipe makes one margarita, but it can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re pouring margaritas for a crowd.
- How to make this a pitcher drink: For a 6-drink pitcher, combine 9 oz. silver tequila, 9 oz. lime juice, 6 oz. simple syrup and 4.5 oz. amaretto in a pitcher. Stir to combine, then pour over ice with garnishes.
- How can I use margarita mix in this recipe? If you’ve got margarita mix (homemade margarita mix or the store-bought kind), omit the lime juice and simple syrup with 2 ½ oz. of the margarita mix.
- My favorite margarita store-bought shortcuts:• Cold press freshly squeezed lime juice: It sounds silly, but if you can find this refrigerated lime juice that’s good to go, it’s worth the cost, especially if you’re entertaining. • Simple syrup: If you’re unsure if you’ll have time to make and then cool simple syrup, they sell this bottled stuff in stores, too!
