BASIC MARGARITA MIX
Yields 2 cocktails, use basic math to make more

2 oz Silver Tequila
1 oz Orange Liqueur - we used Cointreau, but Triple Sec or Grand Marnier works too

RHUBARB MARGARITA
INGREDIENTS FOR RHUBARB SIMPLE SYRUP:
3 cups Rhubarb chopped into 1” pieces, preferably fresh but frozen works too!

DIRECTIONS:
Combine chopped Rhubarb, Sugar (or Agave syrup) and water into a small sauce pan over medium to high heat
Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium - low heat, simmer for 15-20 minutes
Remove from heat and let cool
Once cooled, press Rhubarb pulp mixture through a fine mesh sieve, producing a pretty bright pink syrup
Refrigerate until you’re ready to make your cocktail - we like to reserve our Rhubarb pulp for a tangy sweet jam to spread on toast, stir into oatmeal, or top ice cream!

Run a lime wedge around rim of 2 rocks glasses and dip into Alaska Pure Lemon Lime Sea Salt - Wild Blueberry, Original or Spruce Tip work well too!
