The Melon Margarita is easy and delicious. I recommend upgrading your tequila for this one and pulling out that fresh sour mix you should have stored. For the lime you'll find that 1 whole lime will give you almost the perfect amount of juice. Then there is the melon liqueur and for this there are a few options, the best of which is Midori. By going with that liqueur you will find this Margarita to have a brilliant green color that catches the eye as much as the taste captivates the palate.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz tequila
  • 1 1/2 oz melon liqueur
  • 1 oz fresh sour mix
  • 1 oz lime juice

Preparation:

  1. Pour all ingredients in a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake and pour into a margarita glass or rocks glass.
  3. Garnish with a slice of crystallized ginger and lemon peel.

You can also blend this mixture with 1 cup of ice for a frozen version.
