Follow The Directions

01

Step

Assemble your ingredients for a seamless cocktail experience. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, orange liqueur, freshly squeezed orange juice, lime juice, and orange marmalade. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Add ice to the shaker until it's about half full. Seal tightly and shake vigorously until the exterior of the shaker becomes well-chilled, approximately 15-30 seconds. (1 minute)

04

Step

Strain the mixture into a chilled margarita glass or coupe. (1 minute)

05

Step

Garnish with a vibrant orange slice and serve immediately. (1 minute)

For a sweeter drink, add a splash of agave nectar or simple syrup to taste.
If you prefer a smoother margarita, double-strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
To add a festive touch, rim the glass with salt or sugar before pouring in the margarita.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the tequila with orange juice and add a splash of lime juice for tartness.
