Orange Haldi (turmeric) Tequila Margarita

This Orange Haldi Tequila Margarita is a bespoke, unique and wonderful concoction. It’s a classic cocktail of debated origin, but its long been a bar staple abroad in very few countries .Originally, the recipe consisted of just four ingredients: tequila, triple sec, lime juice and salt, but i’ve added my own tips, tricks and twists to the mix..

Nowadays, it’s pretty unusual to get a margarita without some sort of sweetener. If you are particularly unlucky, your margarita might include some sort of sour mix as a substitute for the lime juice.

But sour mix in a margarita is a mortal sin in terms of bartending, which is why making this Orange Haldi Tequila Margarita yourself is the only way to go.
