This Champagne Margarita Cocktail Recipe Will Replace Your Brunch Rosé

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 ounces Tequila blanco
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or to taste)
• juice of half a lime
• pulp of 2 passion fruit
• coarse sea salt to frost the glass
• zest of a lime to frost the glass
• plenty of fresh ice
• passionfruit slices to garnish
• chilled Champagne or Prosecco to top up

Directions

Cut the passion fruit in half and spoon the pulp into a large glass or cocktail shaker. Pour in the tequila (remember: This is for two servings!).

Pour in the agave syrup and the lime juice.

Stir thoroughly and taste for sweetness — add more agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter or more lime juice if you like it sour.

Fill a shallow plate with coarse sea salt and add the zest of a lime. Moisten the rim of two chilled Champagne coupe or margarita glasses with a lime wedge.

Invert the glasses onto the plate to frost the glasses. Half fill the glasses with crushed ice. If you can't find crushed ice, simple blitz a handful of ice cubes in a high-power blender.

Strain the cocktail between the two glasses. If you like a little crunch, add a tablespoon of the passion fruit seeds in each glass — up to you.

Top with chilled Champagne or Prosecco and garnish with a thin slice of passion fruit. Serve immediately!
