<p>This is a classic cocktail that you can bottle as a ready mix. It makes a really great gift.  This recipe uses homemade <a href="/177/black-currant-liqueur-dried-fruit-part-i/">Orange Kumquat Liqueur</a> (or substitute with Cointreau), 100% blue agave tequila and fresh lime juice. You will need to obtain some 750 ml wine bottles. I used screw top wine bottles for my project (with plastic tops) because it was convenient for me. I don&#8217;t have a corker and the screw tops make a good seal. </p>
<div class="courier12">
<p>Margarita Ready Mix</p>
<ul>
<li>3/4ths part Fresh Lime Juice</li>
<li>1 part <a href="/138/orange-kumquat-liqueur-recipe-part-1/">Orange Kumquat Liqueur</a> (or Cointreau) </li>
<li>1 part 100% Blue Agave Tequila </li>
</ul>
<p>Mix fresh lime juice, Orange Kumquat Liqueur (or Cointreau) and Tequila  in the above proportions and add to  2 qt. Mason jars. Bottle the batch in  750 ml wine bottles. Seal and label the bottles. I used blue in the color scheme.</p>
</p></div>
<p>I used <a href="https://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDetail.aspx?N=40+309+4294967136&#038;area=Spirits&#038;ProductID=21900&#038;Ns=Name|0" target="_blank">Puerto Vallarta Blanco Tequila</a> (100% blue agave tequila). It is also a good idea to strain the fresh squeezed lime juice through a small <a href="/equipment/#strainers">strainer</a> when adding it to the mix. I used the smallest size strainer in the photo <a href="/equipment/#strainers">here</a>. Straining the lime juice is necessary to remove the pulp. This is truly a premium Margarita cocktail. The Orange Kumquat liqueur has a unique, distinctive flavor that adds a special character to this drink recipe. </p>
<p>I also made a custom label with some directions on how to prepare the cocktail. Look for the custom label template and layouts in a future page in the <a href="/bottles-and-labels/" title="Bottles and Labels">Bottles and Labels</a> section of the website. Also check this page for the seals (<a href="/bottles-and-labels/#hoods">hoods</a>). </p>
<p>You can find 750 ml wine bottles from most homebrew supply that sells winemaking equipment and supplies. You can search for &quot;wine bottles&quot; in <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=wine+bottles&#038;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank">Google</a> to find many sources. </p>

<p>This a great cocktail ready mix that you can bottle and give away as a gift. It is made with homebrew <a href="/177/black-currant-liqueur-dried-fruit-part-i/">Black Currant Liqueur</a> (cassis or creme de cassis), pomegranate juice, light rum and fresh lime juice. You will need to obtain some 750 ml wine bottles. I used screw top wine bottles for my project (with plastic tops) because it was convenient for me. I don&#8217;t have a corker and the screw tops make a good seal. </p>
<div class="courier12">
<p>Pomegranate Daiquiri Mix</p>
<ul>
<li>7 oz Pomegranate Juice</li>
<li>3 oz Light Rum </li>
<li>2 oz <a href="/177/black-currant-liqueur-dried-fruit-part-i/">Black Currant  Liqueur</a> (or creme de cassis)</li>
<li>1/2 oz  Fresh Lime Juice</li>
</ul>
<p>Mix the pomegranate juice, rum, black currant liqueur and lime juice in the above proportions and add to  2 qt. Mason jars. Bottle the batch in  750 ml wine bottles. Seal and label the bottles. </p>
</p></div>
<p>I used Bacardi rum and 100% pomegranate juice from Trader Joe&#8217;s. It is also a good idea to strain the fresh squeezed lime juice through a small <a href="/equipment/#strainers">strainer</a> when adding it to the mix. I used the smallest size strainer in the photo <a href="/equipment/#strainers">here</a>. Straining the lime juice is necessary to remove the pulp.</p>
<p>I also made a custom label with some directions on how to blend the cocktail with crushed ice. Look for the custom label template and layouts in a future page in the <a href="/bottles-and-labels/" title="Bottles and Labels">Bottles and Labels</a> section of the website. Also check this page for the seals (<a href="/bottles-and-labels/#hoods">hoods</a>). </p>
