1. Start by adding your ingredients to a cocktail shaker. That’s 1 oz of Atomic Black coffee liqueur, 1 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of agave syrup. This mix brings together the bold bitterness of espresso, the brightness of lime, and just enough sweetness to keep things balanced—a coffee margarita is built for sipping, not slamming.

2. Shake hard for at least 20 seconds. You want the tin frosty and the drink ice-cold, with everything properly emulsified. This step is key to waking up the lime and blending the espresso tequila combo into a smooth, cohesive cocktail.

3. Double strain into a chilled margarita or double rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Straining keeps things clean—no ice shards or pulp, so the texture stays crisp and refreshing from your first sip to your last.

4. Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel. It’s a nod to the classic, but also adds a burst of citrus aroma that plays perfectly with the rich coffee notes in this espresso margarita recipe. Enjoy!
