Recipe Notes
Cook's Tips:
- Use vegetable peeler to remove 3-4 pieces orange peel for syrup (remaining orange can be sliced to be used as garnish or for another use)
- The spiced simple syrup mixture will yield enough to make 8 drinks. The actual margarita ingredients is for ONE margarita. You will need to repeat the steps 4 and 5 for EACH Margarita you want to make up to 8 Margaritas.
- This Margarita would pare nicely with the Smoked Salmon Tortillas
