The Easy Black Margarita Recipe with Activated Charcoal

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rim: Mix salts/pepper on a shallow plate. Rub the rim of your chosen glass with a lime wedge, then gently roll the outer edge of the rim into the salt mixture. Set the glass aside.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In the cocktail shaker, combine the activated charcoal powder with the orange liqueur. Stir briefly to dissolve the powder slightly.
3. Measure Liquids: Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar into the shaker.
4. Ice and Shake: Fill the shaker two-thirds full with fresh ice. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the shaker is frosty cold.
5. Strain and Serve: Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice (if using a rocks glass). Double strain the mixture into the prepared glass to ensure a smooth texture.
6. Garnish: Garnish simply with a thin wheel or wedge of lime on the rim.
