What are the ingredients for an espresso margarita?
The team over at Cointreau have shared their recipe on how to create this twisted cocktail. All you do is add orange liqueur, tequila, fresh lime juice, coffee syrup, orange blossom water, bitters (optional) and lots of ice to a cocktail shaker.
Making your own coffee syrup is really simple and you’ll have plenty of leftovers to add into cocktails, or even to enhance your next iced coffee. All you need is a 1:1 ratio of freshly brewed coffee and caster sugar.
