Wow. This rosemary ginger margarita may be one of my favorite flavored margaritas to date. Everything is beautifully balanced. It’s aromatic, flavorful, and you still taste the tequila. You know me, if you can’t taste the tequila, send it back.

At work, we were having an appetizer and cocktails competition. Working in pairs, we had to make a delicious appetizer and pair with an equally delicious cocktail. The prizes were: Best Appetizer, Best Drink, and Best Combo. They all had to incorporate something green. I opted to use a lime slice and rosemary for my green things.

I didn’t want to be a one-show pony and make a Marquisrita. So I scoured Pinterest and found this Rosemary Ginger Margarita from Lauren at Wicked Spatula. I gave it a try over the weekend and knew it would be perfect for the competition. I initially went all in, but found that I did not like the salt on the rim. I’m not a salt person anyways, but this does not need the salt. However, do what you want! My co-worker made flank steak and chimichurri sauce on crostini; it was a perfect pairing. We won Best Drink and Best Combination!

To be honest, I was afraid of the ginger. I didn’t know how it would taste. I am a creature of habit. Whenever I deviate from my ‘favorite’ food/drink, I often end up disappointed. But one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants, Cascabel Taqueria, has helped me discover other flavored margaritas. They have fantastic craft margaritas. You should try their spicy marg if you are in the area.

Whenever I’m making cocktails, I always measure by the shot glass. It’s the easiest thing for me and 90% of people have one somewhere in the house. So, make it your go-to measuring tool on your bar cart. This way you can forget converting ounces to tablespoons and visa-versa. Below we broke out our measurements by a shot, but for the full recipe refer to Wicked Spatula (link below).

Everything in the simple syrup was straightforward. But if you don't want to buy a whole ginger root, use ground ginger. Here's our conversion: 1/8 tsp ground ginger

It seems like a spring drink, but I could enjoy this all year. It’s very refreshing and worth a try!
