Our modern take on a 'marguerita' recipe from WL's 1987 cookbook.
Recipe by Tim Cole (Ophelia) and photos by Tracey Kusiewicz.
The WL cookbook recipe was classic ’80s, when everyone became obsessed with the texture provided by egg whites. The original recipe from the ’30s would more likely have had a splash of soda instead of the egg white.
Find the original recipe here.
1½ oz Pueblo Viejo Reposado tequila (or similar reposado from the Los Altos region) ½ oz Agavero Orange (similar to triple sec but made from tequila) 2 oz lime juice½ oz hibiscus syrup* Pink salt** Dehydrated lime, for garnish
