What is a Vodka Margarita?

A Vodka Margarita, also referred to as a "Vodkarita," is a cocktail that replaces tequila with vodka in the conventional margarita recipe. In addition to vodka, this drink typically includes lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup or agave nectar for sweetness. This concoction results in a smooth, velvety, and citrusy cocktail perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • Vodka - 2 oz
  • Fresh lime juice - 1 oz
  • Orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau) - 1 oz
  • Simple syrup or agave nectar - 1/2 oz (optional for added sweetness)
  • Salt (for rimming the glass)
  • Ice
  • Lime wheel (for garnish)

Equipment:

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Hawthorne strainer
  • Old Fashioned or Margarita glass

How To Make a Vodka Margarita:

  1. Prepare your glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim and then dipping it in salt. Set the glass aside.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup or agave nectar (if using).
  3. Add ice to the shaker, filling it halfway, and then seal it tightly.
  4. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds or until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty.
  5. Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice.
  6. Garnish with a lime wheel and enjoy!
