Alongside the Tequila Sunrise, the Margarita is one of the most popular tequila-based cocktails. The classic Margarita features earthy agave notes from the tequila, a pleasant acidity from the lime juice and a fresh balance from the triple sec and orange liqueur. In this recipe, we present a fruity variation with our Röteli cherry liqueur - the Cherry Margarita:

Ingredients
30 ml Kindschi Röteli Liqueur
60 ml Tequila
30 ml orange liqueur
30 ml simply syrup
30 ml lime juice
5 chopped cherries

Preparation

Place the chopped cherries in a cocktail shaker and crush lightly with a muddler to release the juice. Add the sugar syrup, Röteli liqueur, orange liqueur, tequila and lime juice to the shaker, fill with ice cubes and shake vigorously. Fill a margarita glass with ice and strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Tip: For extra flavor, the rim of the glass can be moistened with lime juice and dipped in sugar before pouring.
