Easy Champagne Margarita Recipe
This party-ready cocktail only has four ingredients! Bubbly Champagne Margarita will quickly become one of your favorite Margarita Cocktail Recipes.
I have a drink that’s perfect for every party and event you’re celebrating. It’s the perfect New Year’s Eve drink, brunch beverage, or wedding cocktail (and I bet you’ll think of many more occasions, too).
This champagne margarita is love at first sip because it tastes as good as it looks. The bubbly concoction is topped with a bright green lime wedge and served in a delicate champagne flute. The best part is the coarse salt around the top of the glass that brings out all of the amazing flavors.
If you’re planning a party of any kind – a bridal shower, bachelorette party, birthday party, or celebrating a new job – this is the drink you should serve.
It is so delicious that you won’t even know how strong it is. Surprisingly, it’s made with three types of alcohol and no margarita mix.
The secret to the amazing flavor is the combination of triple sec, tequila, and champagne. There’s nothing like it – and it leaves quite the impression.
What Is A Champagne Margarita?
A champagne margarita is an alcoholic drink that tastes like a carbonated margarita with a tangy twist.
You combine your favorite type of champagne, tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur in a glass. Then, add coarse salt along the rim and top it with a fresh lime slice.
A champagne margarita has an unmistakable burst of citrus flavor. Then, it’s rounded out with crisp flavor from the champagne.
That dry but refreshing combination will get your attention and make you fall in love with it.
Then, the salt around the rim enhances every note mixed into the drink. It makes the lime and orange flavors bolder, creating a fun drink to sip.
And with the silvery color and glittering salt, it also fits in perfectly with elegant galas.
Of course, you can choose to dress it down and serve it at casual picnics, too.
How To Make A Champagne Margarita
This is an easy cocktail for beginners. All you have to do is add some lime juice to the rim of the champagne flute and then dip it into some salt.
Then, it’s time to shake up the drink!
Grab your cocktail shaker and add the lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and champagne. But don’t shake it too much (remember, it has champagne in it).
Just give it a gentle swirl so that everything gets nice and combined. Pour it into your champagne flute and garnish it with the lime slice.
Champagne margarita without tequila
Can you make a virgin champagne margarita? Or can you make it without tequila?
I get it. Tequila isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay.
To make a virgin drink, make your margarita base with lime juice and your favorite non-alcoholic tequila alternative. I like Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative and Lyre’s Agave Blanco.
Then, add some non-alcoholic sparkling wine (like sparkling grape juice).
Don’t forget to rim the glass and add the salt! That’s the best part!
