So, you’re about to sit down to your CK Quinoa Taco Bowl (organic, clean and free from added sugars) and you think to yourself (sigh) “I wish I had a recipe for a clean & refreshing cocktail right now”. Rejoice, friends! The CK Clean & Spicy Citrus Margarita is here…
CK Clean & Spicy Citrus Margarita
2 limes, juiced (use a juice press to extract the most juice)
2 ounces 100% agave tequila (ex:Patron, Milagro, Casamigos)
1 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon jalapeño-infused agave*
Ice cubes
2 lime wedges
Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
*to prepare jalapeño-infused agave, pour 2 tablespoons agave nectar into small jar with tight-fitting lid. Slice one jalapeno pepper into small strips and fully submerge into agave nectar. Allow to steep for 30 minutes or up to 1 day (the longer it steeps, the spicer it is!).
Run one lime wedge along the rim of a glass. Pour 2 tablespoons Himalayan Pink Sea Salt on a small plate and, holding glass at a 45 degree angle, turn to coat the rim in salt. Add ice cubes to glass and set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine ice cubes, lime juice, orange juice, tequila and jalapeño-infused agave (it’s OK to use the jalapeno strips as well). Shake for 20-30 seconds. Strain into glass and garnish with remaining lime wedge.
Taking the time to make your own margarita saves approximately 100 calories per cocktail (compared to sugary mixes that use sweeteners and artificial ingredients).
