Boozy Boba Margarita
Equipment
- 1 Pitcher
Ingredients
Boba Margarita Ingredients
- 3 cups Tequila: Silver or reposado is traditionally considered to be the best tequila for margaritas, but any type of tequila (or smoky mezcal or sotol) will work.
- 1 cup Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is always best, but feel free to use store bought juice to save time.
- 2 cups Orange Liqueur: Any will do, but but we prefer Grand Marnier or Cointreau. You can also use a good-quality Triple Sec.
- All Natural Better Boba: Our Brown Sugar Boba pairs perfectly.
Optional Ingredients
- Agave: An elegant solution for those looking for a sweeter drink. Any Agave will do, but we particularly like the Kirkland Signature Organic Blue Agave.
- Kosher Sea Salt: Run a lime wedge around the rims of your glasses, and dip the rims in the salt.
- Additional Lime Slices: Save a few extra lime slices or wedges if you would like to add them to the glass as garnish.
Instructions
How to make a Boba Margarita:
- Prep your glasses: If you would like to salt the rims of your glasses, simply run a juicy lime wedge around the rims. Then dip the rims in coarse Kosher salt. Set the glasses aside until ready to use.
- Stir the ingredients together in a large pitcher: Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur and a handful of ice in a large pitcher and stir to combine.
- Taste and add sweetener, if desired: Give the margarita mix a taste, and if you think it needs extra sweetener, add in a tablespoon or two of agave at a time, until the drink reaches your desired level of sweetness.
- Serve over boba. Prepare your classic boba pearls and add 2 tablespoons of better boba into each serving glass; pour the margarita mix over the ice and garnish each glass with a slice of lime.
Recipe Variations:
- Smoky Finish: Use Mezcal instead of Tequila for a smoky finish
- Add Spice If you like your margarita to have a kick, try muddling a few slices of fresh jalapeño or serrano chilis into the margarita mix. Note that a few chili slices go a long way with a single serving.
- “Skinny” margaritas: Looking to shave off some calories (and alcoholic content)? Try substituting freshly-squeezed orange juice in place of the orange liqueur to make a calorie friendly version.
- Virgin margaritas: Instead of using tequila, mix freshly squeezed lime juice & orange juice combined with some agave nectar and sparking water
