My husband and I LOVE a stellar cocktail recipe! Pre-kids we enjoyed perfecting our mixology skills and sipping delicious cocktails at many fabulous cocktail lounges! As our lives have slowly adjusted post-kids, we have somehow managed to start sipping fun cocktails again. Birthday parties are a perfect excuse to make a delicious cocktail for you and your guests!
With the upcoming galactic inspired birthday party, we decided we needed something with a bit of a lunar look. My husband decided to craft a play on a classic margarita. A cocktail that would be familiar, surprising, refreshing and sip worthy!
- 1 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed and strained
- 1.5 oz simple syrup (1 part sugar and 1 part water)
- 2 oz reposado tequila
- 4 dashes orange bitters
- top with Prosecco
- combine lime juice, simple syrup, tequila and bitters in a cocktail shaker
- shake until the shaker is really cold (about 30 seconds)
- pour into coupe
- top with Prosecco
- garnish with edible gold flakes (23-24K)
To make this cocktail recipe into a mocktail recipe, simply top the lime, simple syrup and bitters with soda water instead of using tequila and Prosecco! Just as delicious and toddler approved!
