Not to be confused by Merlot with Margherita – which involves pizza! This Merlot “Margarita” is for tequila and wine lovers.
Ingredients
- 50 ml tequila blanco
- 25 ml lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 25 ml simple syrup
- Leopard’s Leap Merlot
Method
Pour the tequila, lime juice and simple syrup into a shaker filled with ice. Shake until chilled and pour into a glass of your choice.
Hold a spoon, backside up, at a 45 degrees angle closely over the surface and pour the Leopard’s Leap Merlot very slowly over the spoon until a wine layer of about 25 ml deep is formed on top of the margarita.

I love the splash of colour it brings when you pour the wine into the glass, and the recipe is nice and simple. ~ @MerlotGirl
