There is just nothing like a crisp, cold margarita to sip on while enjoying a Mexican meal. Both sweet and tart, this bevvy contrasts in the most beautiful way with the flavors and spices of Mexican cuisine.

I like a margarita even without an awesome taco salad or my family’s favorite carnitas!

The recipe for these Prosecco Margaritas is in big-batch cocktail form, perfect for entertaining. I love the bubbly effect from the Prosecco!

INGREDIENTS:

3 oz. blanco tequila, or to taste
3 oz. Cointreau®
4 oz. chilled simple syrup*, or to taste
8 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice, or to taste
1 750-mL bottle chilled Prosecco (preferrably on the sweeter side, such as Dry or Demi-Sec)
coarse salt, to rim glasses
fresh lime wedges, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

* Simple syrup is super easy to make, and takes only about 5 minutes! In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature, and then store chilled in the refrigerator for up to a month. Use to sweeten any of your favorite beverages.
In a small to medium-sized jar or bowl, add the tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice. Prepare this mixture at least a couple hours prior to serving the margaritas, and place in refrigerator to chill.
This recipe will make 6 smaller or 4 medium-sized margaritas. Gather 4 to 6 glasses and get started! If salting the rims of your glasses, run the cut edge of a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt. Repeat with remaining glasses.
Add ice to prepared glasses and divide the tequila mixture amongst the glasses. Top with Prosecco, dividing evenly amongst the glasses. Give a little stir to combine, and then taste test. Adjust for individual tastes by adding more simple syrup for extra sweetness and lime for tartness, plus extra tequila for those who like a bit more tequila bite. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top and add another one to the rim of the glass. Enjoy!
