Equipment

  • cocktail shaker
  • jigger
  • Margarita glasses

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Blanco tequila
  • 4 oz lime juice
  • 2 oz simple syrup
  • 2 oz dry red wine
  • ice

Garnishes

  • dehydrated lime slices
  • fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Add ice, tequila, lime juice and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
  • Strain with a cocktail strainer and pour into coupe glasses.
  • Hold the back of a spoon over the glass and very slowly, pour 1 ounce of red wine over each drink. 
  • Garnish with dehydrated lime slices and a sprig of fresh rosemary. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

    • Dry Red Wine - it's super important to use dry red wine in this recipe to ensure the wine layer floats to the top.
    • Prepare in Advance - this drink can be made in advance by mixing the tequila and simple syrup together putting it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. When ready to serve, add lime juice and pour the mixture into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and follow the instructions as noted above to finish the drinks.
