Gochujang Margarita

Description

Gochujang Margarita uses fermented chilli paste for more than heat. A purpose-made gochujang syrup brings umami, fruit and gentle fermentation alongside the classic tequila, lime and orange-ligueur structure.

Agave is kept minimal because the syrup already contributes sweetness. A Tajín half-rim gives the drink an optional salty chilli edge without forcing every sip to taste seasoned.

Ingredients

45 ml Blanco tequila
20 ml Triple Sec
25 ml lime juice
7.5 ml Gochujang Syrup
5 ml Agave syrup
Tajín Seasoning
1 piece Lime Wheel (for garnish)
Ice

Equipment needed

Cocktail Shaker – Shake with ice for proper chill, dilution and texture. Fine Mesh Strainer – Use for fine-straining where the recipe calls for it.

Instructions

Run a lime wedge around half the rim of a margarita or rocks glass and dip that half into Tajín.
Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, gochujang syrup and agave syrup to a shaker with ice.
Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds.
Fine strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice or serve straight up.
Garnish with a lime wheel.
