Instructions
 

  • Rim the margarita glass with a salt, if desired.
  • Add the tequila, Cointreau, spiced syrup, amaretto and lime juice to a cocktail shaker.
  • Add ice and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.
  • Strain the mixture into the margarita glass with ice, garnish, and enjoy.

Notes

  • It’s already sweet enough for us with the Amaretto, but if you love sweet drinks, a touch more Triple Sec (Cointreau) or a bit of simple syrup. If it’s too sweet, try adding a bit more lime juice.  
  • If you’re making more for friends, use the slider in the recipe card below to modify the serving size. Combine all the ingredients in a margarita pitcher.
  • Don't want to buy Amaretto but still want that almond flavor? Try a tiny bit of almond extract (it's super potent) or a little orgeat syrup.
  • You can leave out the bitters if you don't want to buy them. It will still taste delicious.
