Ingredients

  • 1 ounce triple sec (I used Cointreau)
  • 1 ounce tequila
  • 8 ounces black cherry juice (or to taste - see note)
  • Salt for rimming the glass
  • Ice
  • Lime wedge for serving

Instructions

  • Rim your glass with the salt. 
  • Add the ice, triple sec, tequila, and lime wedge to the glass. Top it up with the black cherry juice.
  • Enjoy drink immediately. 

Notes

  • I used Maldon sea salt flakes to rim the glasses in the photos. You could also use specialty margarita rimming salt if you wish.
  • You can either use less black cherry juice or double the alcohol if you want your drink to be stronger.
