At its root, the High Five is just a Margarita in a prom dress. A traditional margarita is made up of tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur. We prefer to use a Tommy’s Margarita as our base for margs, which is made with tequila, agave and lime juice. Both of us find that it tastes better and we use agave in way more things than triple sec, so the ingredients make sense for our home bar.
THE ROOT - Tommy’s Marg
2oz tequila
.75 oz agave
1 oz lime juice
Shake hard and strain. Serve on the rocks.
If you want to take any margarita up a bit, infusing the tequila is a quick and easy way to add dimension to it without creating too much work or causing an imbalance.
LEARN A LITTLE - Strawberry Marg
2oz Strawberry infused tequila*
.75 Agave
1 oz lime juice
Shake hard and strain. Serve on the rocks.
