The Baltimore Ravens – Baltimore Margarita
Although everyone is “flapping” about Baltimore’s chances to go all the way, the Baltimore Margarita borrows inspiration from the bold purple color. Made with Santo Mezquila and prickly pear syrup, the margarita packs a big punch.
Ingredients:
1 ¼ ounces Santo Mezquila
¼ ounce triple sec (or any high quality orange liqueur)
1 ½ ounces prickly pear syrup
½ ounce fresh lime juice
2 ounces sweet & sour mix
Preparation:
Run a fresh lime wedge around the rim of a chilled margarita glass. Then roll the moistened rim in sugar. Fill the glass with ice and set aside. In a cocktail shaker, add the mezcal, triple sec, prickly pear syrup, lime juice and sweet & sour mix. Shake well and pour into the prepared glass.
