Mandarin Orange Margarita

Here’s everything I used to make this simple margarita recipe!

• Tequila: You can use whatever kind of tequila you prefer for this margarita! Personally, I like to stick to blanco tequila. You will see that I made this particular recipe with one of my favorites – 818 Tequila from “my friend Kendall Jenner!”
• Mandarin Orange: The juice of a mandarin orange is really the star ingredient of this recipe. It adds a deliciously fresh and sweet flavor to the margarita, which I much prefer to a sugary orange liquor! You can also substitute a tangerine, clementine or half of a regular orange if you would like.
• Lime: Fresh lime juice is always essential for a homemade margarita. Bottled lime juice will work as well but I don’t think it quite tastes the same. I love to garnish my marg with a little lime wheel for some extra flair!
• Agave Nectar: Agave nectar adds just a touch of sweetness to this drink. You can add as little or as much as you like, I usually just add a dash! If you don’t have agave nectar, a little simple syrup or regular sugar would work well to sweeten it up.
• Margarita Salt: If you like a salty margarita then don’t forget to add some margarita salt to the rim of your glass. Sometimes I like to mix my salt with a little lime or orange zest for extra visual appeal and flavor! If you prefer your margarita without salt, then you can skip this step or substitute for sugar.
