🍹 THE LIVENER MARGARITA RECIPE 🍹

💫What’s in it 💫

💫How to make it 💫

  • Chill your glass before if you can. Wet half of the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, and coat it with pink Himalayan salt. To do this, dd a bit of salt to a saucer, and push the wet side of the rim into it to coat it.
  • Add all of your ingredients into an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake hard! You can use a sturdy glass jar if you haven't got a shaker.
  • Strain through a tea strainer into your glass, and garnish with a slice/wedge of lime. Ice is optional. Enjoy!
