The Screwrita is a delightful twist on the classic Margarita cocktail. This refreshing drink combines the tangy flavors of fresh orange juice with the smoothness of tequila and the sweetness of triple sec. With a hint of lime and a salted rim, this Screwrita is a perfect drink for any occasion. Follow this simple recipe to learn how to make your own Screwrita cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz tequila
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 2 oz fresh orange juice
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • Salt, for rimming the glass
  • Lime wedge, for garnish

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add tequila, triple sec, fresh orange juice, and lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice.
  3. 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.
  4. Garnish and serve: Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass for garnish. Your Screwrita cocktail is now ready to be served!
  5. 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.
