This yuzu margarita recipe with lime fleur de sel is the perfect refreshing cocktail for a balmy summer evening.
Yuzu juice makes an intriguing alternative to lime bringing strong citrus flavour but also a heady, floral aroma. Yuzu juice is hard to come by and a little decadent, but it is complemented beautifully by lemon juice, which helps to make it go much further.
A lime fleur de sel salt rim also gives this cocktail a little more intrigue than your usual margarita. The salt has a Madagascan fleur de sel base, laced with lime zest which adds a refreshing, scented final touch.
Ingredients Serves: 6
- 1 egg white
- 15g lime fleur de sel
- 175ml Tequila
- 50ml Cointreau
- 25ml yuzu juice
- 25ml lemon juice
- A couple of drops of agave syrup

Method
