Merry Margarita

This recipe was developed by Rayne Embley from @RAYNEEMBLEY using Comvita UMF 5+ Mānuka Honey.

Ingredients

• 60ml unoaked tequila
• 1 tbsp Comvita Mānuka Honey
• 30ml fresh lime juice
• 15ml cointreau
• 2pieces of ginger
• Lime, chilli and salt flakes for the rim

Method

• Sprinkle a few teaspoons of salt and chilli flakes over the surface of a small plate or saucer. Rub one wedge of lime along the rim of a tumbler and then dip it into the salt and chilli flakes so that the entire rim is covered.
• Mix equal parts of Mānuka Honey and warm water and stir until the honey is dissolved to make a honey syrup.
• Put the ginger in the cocktail shaker and muddle it. Then fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the tequila, lime juice, cointreau and honey syrup. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
• Strain the mix into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Serve with a wedge of lime.
