Cherry Margarita

Ingredients

Margarita Mix:

1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup water
2-3 Tbs sugar

Margarita:

24 cherries
90 ml tequila
60 ml orange liqueur

Method

Stir together sugar and water over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is clear.

Stir in lime juice and pour into a blender.

Pit cherries and place in the blender.

Use a rubber spatula to work the mixture around, getting as much of the liquid out as possible.
