Tangelo Margarita
For those who like their margaritas to be a little bit sweeter, try making it with tangelos and lemons. Tangelos have the sweetness from an orange and the tartness of a grapefruit. Save a few slices to snack on while you make the cocktail. Most recipes for tangelo margaritas use limes and lemons. But, you can simply omit the lime juice and just use lemons with simple syrup, or make your own lemonade, like in this recipe from Monsters and Critics.
Tangelos are a lot juicier than Meyer lemons, so you won't need as many to yield the appropriate amount for one cocktail. To make one tangelo margarita, combine equal parts silver tequila and lemonade (1 ½ ounces each) with 2 ½ ounces of tangelo juice. If you're combining simple syrup with lemon juice, then use equal parts simple syrup and lemon juice (about 1 ½ tablespoons each). Mix the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour into a rim-salted glass.
The sweetness from the lemonade and tangelos will definitely mask the strength of the alcohol. If you're looking for something to quench your thirst or something to easily drink, then this is the margarita for you.
