Magnolia Fruit Margarita
Trigger warning: Oversized Garnish
I grabbed this amazing magnolia fruit from a friends tree.
I started by making a lower sugar magnolia fruit syrup:
1 magnolia fruit (sliced)
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup water
Put all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer until liquid approximately halves. Allow to cool. Pour all ingredients into a jar and infuse the magnolia for a further 24 hours
For the Margarita:
60ml Reposado Tequila
15ml Passionfruit Liqueur
15ml Lower sugar magnolia fruit syrup
30ml Lime Juice
Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously until combined
Double strain into your favourite vintage cocktail glass
Garnish hard with a magnolia fruit and serve on silver platter
