Notes
Plum & Ginger Infused Tequila: Here is the recipe to make your own infused tequila.
- Adjusting Sweetness: For a sweeter drink, increase the agave syrup to ¾ oz or 1 oz. For a tangier margarita, reduce it slightly.
- Mocktail Option: Replace the infused tequila and orange liqueur with plum juice and a splash of ginger ale for a refreshing, non-alcoholic alternative.
- Seasonal Variations: Add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the rim during cooler months for a seasonal twist.
