Directions
- Rim the glass: Begin by preparing the glass. Take a lime wedge and rub it along the rim of the glass. Once the rim is moistened, dip the glass in a plate with salt to create a salted rim. Set aside.
- Mix the ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add tequila, triple sec, fresh orange juice, and lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice.
- Shake and strain: Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed and chilled. Then, using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass.
- Garnish and serve: Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass for garnish. Your Screwrita cocktail is now ready to be served!
- Interesting Fact: The Screwrita is a play on the popular Tequila Sunrise cocktail, but with a twist. Instead of grenadine, the Screwrita uses fresh orange juice to achieve a similar vibrant color and a tangy flavor.
