The combo of clementines and thyme is genius!

Clementine and Thyme are a genius combo! Just add tequila and you're golden! | The Recipe Wench

 

This Clementine Thyme Margarita is pretty amazing.

The sweetness of the clementines, the earthy flavor of thyme combine really well with tequila.

Usually, I opt to leave the salt off the rim of my margarita glass — but not for this drink!

The salt is awesome in contract to the sweetness of the clementines.  Salt it up!

Enjoy! – The Recipe Wench

Clementine Margarita
Serves 2
Prep time 5 minutes
Meal type Beverage

Ingredients

Thyme Simple Syrup

  • 1/4 Cup water
  • 1/4 Cup sugar
  • 1/2 Cup thyme sprigs

Margarita

  • 8 Ounces fresh squeezed clementine juice (orange juice can be substituted, but I recommend clementine!)
  • 4 Ounces tequila
  • 2 Ounces thyme simple syrup (super easy -- recipe is included in directions)
  • kosher salt for rimming glasses
  • ice

Note

This Clementine Margarita was inspired by a recipe I found on Vinepair for a smokey orange-thyme margarita.  The thyme in the margarita got my attention, but I had to go with clementine instead of orange juice.

Don't let the fact that you have to make simple syrup discourage you.  It's a very easy thing to make -- just takes a few extra minutes and this cocktail is totally worth it!

Enjoy! - The Recipe Wench

Directions

Make Thyme Simple Syrup
Step 1
Over medium high heat, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add about 1/2 cup of thyme sprigs. Give it a stir until the thyme is submerged. Allow to cool. Strain into container. This will make slightly more simple syrup than you need for 2 cocktails.
Assemble Margarita
Step 2
Sprinkle a layer of salt on plate.
Rub small piece of clementine around rim of glasses.
Turn glasses upside down on plate to allow salt to adhere to the rim.
Fill glasses with ice.

In a small pitcher, combine 8 oz. juice, 4 oz. tequila, and 2 oz. simple syrup. Stir.
Divide into glasses and Enjoy!
