Super Citrus Margarita
Margarita May - Super Citrus Margarita
May means a lot of things at Big Eddy Glass Works. It means we’re celebrating Leah and Ariel’s birthdays. It means summer is coming to Revelstoke. And this month, May means margaritas! For the first week of May-garita Tyler mixed up some Super Citrus Margaritas to start the month off right!

Our Cup of Choice: Revelstacker
Since these margaritas are so bright we thought a clear glass would be the right choice to show off this cocktail. Our Revelstacker did the trick — it’s clear with a coloured wrap around the lip so you know which glass is yours. And as an added bonus, these Revelstackers can stack in your cupboard!!
Ingredients:
Lime wedges
Orange wheels
Grapefruit juice
Freshly squeezed mandarin orange and navel orange juice
Freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice
Simple syrup
Espolon Tequila Blanco
Espolon Tequila Reposado
To make the simple syrup combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes and let it cool.
This cocktail is built right in the glass. Start by adding ice to your Revelstacker cup then add 0.5 oz of both the Tequila Blanco and Reposado. Pour in 0.5 oz of the lemon-lime juice, 0.5 oz of grapefruit juice, and 1 oz of the orange juice mixture. There’s so much citrus in this cocktail, everyone who drinks it should be safe from scurvy! Finally top this off with a 0.5 oz of the simple syrup and give it a stir!
Garnish:
Orange wheel
Lime wedge
The bright orange and green garnish on the lip really makes this cocktail shine, and squeeze them in your cocktail for even more citrus!
We’re pretty sure this cocktail belongs in Margaritaville, but we’re more than happy to be drinking them in the hot shop!
