Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cantaloupe juice
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 1 ounce orange liqueur
- 1 ounce lime juice
- Margarita salt
- Ice
Instructions
- Prepare a glass with a salted rim by running a lime wedge around the edge and dipping in margarita salt. Fill with ice and set aside.
- Add cantaloupe juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds.
- Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with a lime slice and a fresh cantaloupe ball if desired.
Notes
To make fresh cantaloupe juice, blend cantaloupe chunks on high until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. One average cantaloupe yields about 16 ounces of juice, enough for 4 margaritas. Juice stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
