Ginger Peach Margarita with Carbonero Tequila

This margarita leans a little unconventional—with sweet peach and spicy ginger in the mix—but the balance is just right. The warmth of the ginger cuts through the sweetness, and when paired with a smooth, quality spirit like Carbonero Tequila, it’s a refreshing twist that still feels classic.

Ingredients (makes 1 cocktail)

• 2 oz Carbonero Tequila

• 1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

• ¾ oz ginger syrup*

• 1 oz peach purée or nectar

• ½ oz triple sec or Cointreau

• Optional: splash of sparkling water for a lighter finish

• Ice

• Tajín or salt for rim

• Garnish: lime wedge, peach slice, or a twist of candied ginger

Instructions

1. Rim your glass:
   Run a lime wedge around the edge of a rocks glass and dip into Tajín or salt. Fill with ice.

2. Shake it up:
   In a shaker filled with ice, combine Carbonero Tequila, lime juice, ginger syrup, peach purée, and triple sec. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.

3. Pour & garnish:
   Strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice. Add a splash of sparkling water if desired. Garnish with a peach slice or candied ginger.

Ginger Syrup (makes ~½ cup)

In a small saucepan, combine:

• ½ cup water

• ½ cup sugar

• 2–3 inches fresh ginger, sliced

Simmer until sugar dissolves and the ginger flavor is strong (~10 minutes). Strain and cool.

Why Carbonero Tequila?

Crafted in Mexico and rooted in Austin, TX, Carbonero Tequila brings a clean, complex agave profile that balances perfectly with the spice of ginger and sweetness of peach.
