What Do You Need to Make a Vodka Margarita?
There are so must haves, but you can also substitute some of the options below.
Vodka
Any vodka will do, but you can't have a vodka margarita without the vodka.
Cointreau
Cointreau is a brand of orange-flavoured triple sec liqueur produced in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, France. You can find it in most supermarkets but if you don't have it you can also use:
- Triple Sec (any brand)
- Orange Curaçao.
- Any orange liqueur
Lime Wedge
If you're a keen mixologist you should always have limes handy. The lime helps cut through the alcohol and makes the cocktail fresher.
Salt
The salt goes around the rim of the glass and helps lessen the burn of the alcohol. Its the same theory behind licking salt of your hand before a tequila shot.
Double Dutch Cucumber Margarita Soda
The Double Dutch Cucumber Margarita Soda adds freshness to the cocktail. Simply mix all the other ingredients and then top with this cucumber soda. We designed this mixer specifically for margaritas.
