Prosecco margaritas🍾🥃🇺🇸 Gotta get our tequila in before the wall goes up!
We have been working our asses off for two straight days and we have one more to go so it's #proseccomargaritas for us so we can sleep with no aches and pains and to celebrate just a little!
There is just nothing like a crisp, cold margarita to sip on while enjoying a Mexican meal. Both sweet and tart, this bevvy contrasts in the most beautiful way with the flavors and spices of Mexican cuisine.
This margarita recipe is crisp and refreshing, and goes down smooth and easy. The addition of bubbly Prosecco is a beautiful bonus, an ingredient you won’t find in a traditional margarita.
Bubbles are happy and life-celebrating and so much fun. Please don’t save bottles of bubbly for extra special occasions, like I once did.
Promise me you’ll pop a few more corks this year and celebrate your friends and family, with your friends and family. (Tequila, completely optional but highly recommended.)

INGREDIENTS:
- 8 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice, or to taste
- 1 750-mL bottle chilled Prosecco (preferrably on the sweeter side, such as Dry or Demi-Sec)
- coarse salt, to rim glasses
- fresh lime wedges, for garnish
- 3 oz. blanco tequila, or to taste
- 3 oz. Cointreau®
- 4 oz. chilled simple syrup*, or to taste
DIRECTIONS:
- * Simple syrup is super easy to make, and takes only about 5 minutes! In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature, and then store chilled in the refrigerator for up to a month. Use to sweeten any of your favorite beverages.
- In a small to medium-sized jar or bowl, add the tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice. Prepare this mixture at least a couple hours prior to serving the margaritas, and place in refrigerator to chill.
- This recipe will make 6 smaller or 4 medium-sized margaritas. Gather 4 to 6 glasses and get started! If salting the rims of your glasses, run the cut edge of a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt. Repeat with remaining glasses.
- Add ice to prepared glasses and divide the tequila mixture amongst the glasses. Top with Prosecco, dividing evenly amongst the glasses. Give a little stir to combine, and then taste test. Adjust for individual tastes by adding more simple syrup for extra sweetness and lime for tartness, plus extra tequila for those who like a bit more tequila bite. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top and add another one to the rim of the glass. Enjoy!
