Summer Corn Margarita
Summer 2026
Muddling raw corn with cilantro leaves gives this seasonal Marg a sweet, creamy texture and an herbaceous hit of flavour. It’s an out-there cocktail with mainstream appeal. Tajín is a salty, spicy, sour Mexican seasoning that’s delicious on tropical fruit or as a rimmer on Caesars and Margaritas. Agave syrup can be found in the baking or pantry aisle of most supermarkets, alongside other syrups and sweeteners.
Makes 1 drink
Tajín and honey for rimming glass
1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh raw corn kernels
10 cilantro leaves
1/2 oz agave syrup
2 oz blanco tequila
1 oz strained fresh lime juice
Cilantro sprig to garnish
1. Place some Tajín on a saucer. Place two strips of painter’s tape vertically about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart on a lowball glass. Brush a band of honey between tape 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) down. Roll in Tajín then remove tape. Place glass on counter and add a large ice cube.
2. Place corn, cilantro and agave syrup in a shaker. Muddle to release the corn’s starch, about 30 seconds. Add tequila and lime juice, and fill three quarters full with ice. Shake until ice-cold, about 12 seconds. Fine-strain into prepared glass. Garnish with cilantro sprig.
