Prosecco Margarita

For Father’s Day, Instead of Mimosas, treat your dads to a Prosecco Margarita. This recipe is courtesy of Chef Marcella Vallodolid.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 15 limes), plus slices for garnish
  • 1 cup tequila blanco, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup Cointreau
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup, or to taste (see Cook’s note)
  • Coarse salt, for rimming
  • 1 750-ml bottle prosecco, chilled

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Combine the lime juice, tequila, Cointreau and simple syrup in a pitcher. Stir well until combined.
  • Place a layer of salt on a small plate. Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge and dip the glass in the salt. Wiggle the glass to cover the wet part of the rim completely. Repeat to rim the remaining glasses.
  • Fill the glasses with ice, then fill them halfway with the tequila-lime mixture. Top the glasses with the prosecco, garnish with lime slices and serve.
