Notes
I prefer to make this Tequila Gimlet Recipe with blanco, but you can also make it with resposado.
Variations to make:
- Spicy - you can either infuse your tequila with jalapenos or you can muddle some jalapenos or serrano in the cocktail shaker.
- Infused Sweetener - If you want to add other flavors without taking out the lime juice, use flavored simple syrups. Strawberry simple syrup or even basil simple syrup would be super tasty!
- Other Liquor - you can absolultey change the tequila to a different spirit if you prefer. Vodka, Gin, or Rum (light or spiced) are a great substitution.
- Herbs - Muddle some herbs into the lime juice before shaking.
- Citrus - Add other citrus juice to the lime juice. Play around and see if you can find a great mix of flavors.
- Fruit - Muddle fresh fruit in the cocktail shaker before shaking the cocktail. Strawberries, blackberries, and even watermelon would be a tasty addition. (Watermelon and tequila are so good - Watermelon Margarita recipe).
