Crafting Your Black Magic Margarita
Step-by-Step Mixing Guide
Step 1: Prepare your glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it in black sanding sugar. This adds a hauntingly dramatic touch to your drink and enhances the Halloween vibe.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients in the Shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add 120 ml of Lyre’s Agave Blanco Spirit, 60 ml of Lyre’s Orange Sec, and 120 ml of freshly squeezed lime juice. Add a few drops of red, blue, and green food colouring to achieve a deep black hue.
Step 3: Add Ice and Shake
Add ice to the shaker and shake well until all ingredients are chilled and combined. This step ensures a smooth blend of flavours and an evenly chilled drink.
Step 4: Strain into the Glass
Fill your prepared glass with ice, then strain the dark mixture into the glass. The contrast between the black sugar rim and the drink creates a striking Halloween effect.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Add a lime slice to the glass for a bright touch that contrasts beautifully with the dark mocktail. The lime enhances the drink’s appearance and adds a fresh, zesty aroma.
