Casamigos margarita recipe – Fresh and Zesty
Margaritas are my favorite, with Casamigos tequila margarita a favorite cocktail year-round, which is why I’m going to share my Casamigos margarita recipe so you can make this refreshing drink at home.
This recipe is great for people who don’t have much time to make fancy drinks with strawberries and more. In under five minutes with a handful of ingredients you end up with a fresh zesty margarita. Honestly, it’s my go-to drink when I have long days.
Casamigos is a brand of tequilla launched by George Clooney and his friend on a quest to make one of the best and smoothest tequila. Casa means home and migos is from amigos called friends.
The tequila has sweet notes with a hint of vanilla. My personal favorite is Casamigos Tequila Resposado as it has notes of topical fruit, and oak, making it perfect for creating a tasty margarita.
Casamigos margarita is simple, old school, and a bit different from your usual drinks – just what you need to relax after a long day at work.
I love making this margarita on Saturday nights with Tuna Kimchi fried rice, Hong Kong noodles, or a light snack. With the margarita in hand, and my favorite show streaming on Netflix, nothing better to take the week’s hectic routine off my shoulders.
