Green Margarita Recipes

Steps:

• Puree 1 cup baby spinach, 1/2 chopped seedless cucumber, 1/2 serrano pepper (seeded for less heat) and 1/4 cup water in a blender; strain through a fine-mesh sieve. For each margarita, shake 1 1/2 ounces each green juice and silver tequila, 3/4 ounce lime juice and 1/4 ounce agave in a shaker with ice. Strain into an ice-filled glass rimmed with chili-lime seasoning. Garnish with a cucumber slice.

Steps:

• Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Sprinkle salt onto a plate. Lightly dip the moistened rim into the salt. Place a large ice cube in the glass and freeze the prepared glass until ready to serve.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously until outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a slice of lime.

Steps:

Steps:

• Rub the lime wedge around the rim of an old-fashioned glass. Dip and rotate the rim in the saucer of sugar, making sure to keep the sugar on the outside. In a blender, combine the chai ice cubes , tequila, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and sugar. Blend on the pulse setting until slushy. Pour into the sugar-rimmed glass.
• For those who prefer their libations over ice, fill a sugar-rimmed old-fashioned glass one-third full of chai ice cubes . Follow the recipe for Green Tea Margarita, using the blender's pulse feature to blend the ingredients until the ice is just coarsely chopped and the mixture is frothy. Strain the mixture through a bar strainer into the prepared glass.
