Garnish:
Orange juice and salt rim, garnish with lime wedge
How to make:
SHAKE all ingredients with ice and strain into ice-filled glass. (There's no need to dry shake this cocktail as the egg white is included to round and add mouthfeel rather than to create a thick frothy head. A good 'wet' shake should create enough foam.)
| 1 1/2 fl oz | Patrón Silver blanco tequila |
| 1/3 fl oz | Cointreau triple sec liqueur |
| 1/3 fl oz | Sugar syrup 'rich' (2 sugar to 1 water, 65.0°Brix) |
| 1/3 fl oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1/6 fl oz | Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1/6 fl oz | Egg white (pasteurised) or Aquafaba (chickpea water) or 3 dashes Fee Brothers Fee Foam cocktail foamer |
| 1/6 fl oz | Chilled water |
| 4 drop | Difford's Margarita Bitters |

- Egg white (pasteurised) – Eggs
Review:
Being slightly dilute, faintly sweet and with a thin foam on top are all essential components to a really good Trashy Margarita. This has all the good characteristics of a powdered sour-mix margarita but with fresh ingredients.
Variant:
Margarita on-the-rocks (Difford's recipe)
Margarita (straight-up)
Margarita (frozen)
50:50 Margarita
Mezcal Margarita
History:
Created in February 2023 by yours truly at the suggestion of Hunter Newsome, a fellow Discerning Drinker, commenting on our Margarita on-the-rocks page. As Hunter says, "I do think there is something to be said for the 'sports bar/backyard barbeque' Margarita that we all know or hate." "Essentially tequila limeade or tequila punch."
