A Lime Wine Marg combines wine based tequila and davinci lime in a bright, citrusy and lightly sweet margarita. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.
How to make a Lime Wine Marg
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 oz Wine Based Tequila
- 1/4 oz Davinci Lime
- 1/2 oz orange liqueur
- 1/4 oz agave syrup, to taste
Method
- If you want a rim, run a lime wedge around half the glass and dip it in salt or Tajín. Fill the glass with fresh ice.
- Add the measured ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake hard for 10–12 seconds.
- Strain over the fresh ice and garnish.
- Taste
- bright, citrusy and lightly sweet
- Glassware
- Rocks glass
- Garnish
- Lime wheel and optional salt or Tajín rim
Conventional recipe adapted from the Draftology keg specification by Craft Standard.
Substitutions
- Use mezcal for a smokier drink, or split the spirit half tequila and half mezcal.
Make a pitcher
- 14 oz Wine Based Tequila
- 2 oz Davinci Lime
- 4 oz orange liqueur
- 2 oz agave syrup, to taste
For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.
Want to make it at scale?
Making one Lime Wine Marg is straightforward. Making a full service means measuring, chilling and repeating that spec all night. The Craft Standard Margarita keg keeps the same flavor direction, but moves the prep into one keg build so every serve comes from the tap.
