Key Ingredients:

St-Germain: St Germain is a french elderflower liqueur that is sweet and floral, with slight citrus notes. It's perfect in cocktails and is so refreshing when paired with lime juice. 

Blanco Tequila: the trick to a good margarita is good ingredients, so use good tequila- my favorites are Casamigos and Espolòn's Blanco. But here is a great list if you want more recommendations. Bonus points if you get one with notes of citrus.

Lime Juice: Lime Juice: no margarita is complete without lime juice and the lime brings out the citrus notes in the St Germain. 

Garnishes: I garnish with salt, fresh cucumber, lime slices, and fresh mint.

This is so easy to make!

1. Add ice to a cocktail shaker.
2. Add in the tequila, St Germain, lime juice, and agave.

Tips and tricks for success:

• Use a lime wedge to rim the edge of the glass and then roll the lime-soaked rim in salt. Use sea salt flakes for a more dramatic effect.
