Ayuuk Margarita (with Orange Liqueur)

An easy summer Margarita with smoky Empirical Ayuuk and orange liqueur.

Simple · 3 min

Ayuuk, our Pasilla Mixe spirit, shares the glass with tequila, dry curaçao and lime. Equal measures make it simple to remember and easy to scale up, and a salt and black lime rim adds a savory edge.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz tequila
  • 1 oz dry curaçao (or any preferred orange liqueur)
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • salt and black lime (for the rim)
  • lime wedge (for the rim)

Alternatives

  • Dry Curaçao — any preferred Orange Liqueur.
  • Black lime rim — chili-lime salt, or salt mixed with dried lime zest.

  1. Pour Ayuuk, tequila, dry curaçao and lime juice into a shaker.
  2. Add ice and hard shake.
  3. Rim a glass with a lime wedge, then coat it with the salt and black lime mix.
