#Pro Tips from Baza

** Infuse Your Tequila ** For an even deeper flavor, infuse the silver tequila with additional rosemary sprigs. Allow the tequila to sit with the rosemary for 1-3 days before making your margaritas. This will impart a subtle, earthy rosemary note that complements the raspberry beautifully.

** Adjust Sweetness to Taste ** Depending on your preference for sweetness, you might want to adjust the amount of raspberry syrup. Start with a little less than the recipe suggests, taste, and add more if needed.

** Experiment with Salts ** Try different types of rim salts or even a sugar-salt blend for a unique twist. A pink Himalayan salt or a flavored salt can add an interesting contrast to the sweet and tart flavors of the margarita.

** Fine Strain to Perfection ** When straining your cocktail, use a fine mesh strainer to remove all the tiny bits of rosemary and ice shards. This results in a smoother texture and more elegant presentation.

** Garnish Creatively ** In addition to raspberries and lime, consider adding a sprig of rosemary as a stirrer or a skewer of fresh berries. These small touches not only enhance the visual appeal but also subtly amplify the flavor profile.

** Batch It Up ** If you're hosting a party, this cocktail can easily be made in batches. Mix a larger quantity of all ingredients in a pitcher (excluding the ice) and keep it chilled. Shake individual servings with ice as needed for freshness and texture.
