For cocktail fun this weekend, try this deconstructed Margarita.

Deconstruction means taking something apart. In the case of deconstructed food, creative chefs and mixologists deconstruct a familiar recipe to present the ingredients in a new and exciting way.

In this recipe, the Margarita is deconstructed into three cocktail shots: a shot of reposado tequila, a shot of sweetened lime juice and a shot of citrus foam. You take a sip of each to “reconstruct” the drink.

 
Here’s another Margarita, deconstructed into three shots.

Have fun deconstructing!
