Moonshine Margarita

This moonshine margarita swaps tequila for smooth, potent moonshine mixed with sweet orange liqueur and tart lime. Shaken hard with ice and strained into a salt-rimmed glass, the simple 3-ingredient recipe offers a strong spirit forward take on the classic cocktail.

Ingredients

• 2 oz of Vintage Shine Holy Water Wheated Moonshine
• 1 oz orange liqueur (like Cointreau or triple sec)
• 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 oz agave nectar
• Lime wedge for garnish
• Salt or sugar for rim (optional)

Instructions

1. If desired, rim half of a rocks glass with salt or sugar. Set aside.
2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the moonshine, orange liqueur, lime juice and agave nectar. Shake vigorously until chilled.
3. Strain the margarita into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
4. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less agave nectar.
• For a frothy texture, shake the drink with 1 egg white.
• Garnish with a lime wheel or jalapeño slice for extra flavor.

This simple 3-ingredient cocktail puts a boozy spin on the classic margarita. The moonshine provides a strong base spirit while the orange liqueur and lime balance out the sweetness. Shake, strain and sip this tasty regional take on a margarita!
