Rasberry Margarita

By profession, I am a bartender. I have been bartending for a decade now. (Holy cow!). People constantly ask me how to make various drinks.

I prefer to shake all my drinks. When you shake the margarita it gets super cold (frost on the tin) and it creates that cool looking froth on top.

Ingredients:
Gold tequila 1 shot
Chambord 1/2 shot
Sweet & Sour Mix
Cranberry juice
*Roses Lime Juice

Build: In a metal shaker tin full of ice, pour a shot of tequila, 1/2 shot of Chambord, a splash of cranberry juice just enough to enhance the color. 3/4 cup of Sweet & Sour mix. The splash of Rose's Lime Juice is optional.

Place the shaker top or pint glass over the shaker tin and shake rigorously for about 8 seconds or until the tin frosts. Pour the drink into a salt-rimmed glass.

To get the salt to stick, pour Rose's Lime Juice into a bowl, dip the glass in the juice, then dip the rim of the glass into a bowl of Kosher salt.

And that's how I make my raspberry margaritas.
