Eva Longoria’s acting career started 24 years ago with a guest star appearance onBeverly Hills, 90210. Her breakthrough role started in 2004, when the mom/stepmom of four portrayed Gabrielle Solis onDesperate Housewives. In the 19 years since, Longoria has acted, directed and produced dozens of films and shows, and her empire has boomed to include acookware line,American womens' andMexican mens' soccer teams, aproduction companyand atequila brand.
Longoria celebrated a few of these ventures on Instagram recently—and offered a serious dose of happy hour inspiration all the while.
To re-create it, start with a cocktail shaker. Add 2 slices jalapeño pepper, ¾ ounce agave nectar and 1 ounce fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to lightly mash the peppers with the sweetener and citrus.
“I like to muddle the jalapeño, lime and agave together. It kind of makes the muddling process go a little faster,” Longoria explains.
To the shaker, then add 2 ounces blanco tequila (she opts for her brand,Casa Del Sol Blanco; feel free to choose your favorite) and a handful of ice. Add the lid to the shaker, then shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker begins to feel icy.
Then grab your preferred serving vessel. If desired, rub a lime wedge around the rim, then dunk it into a blend of 1 part salt and 2 parts Tajín.
“I rimmed my glass with Tajín—if you know, you know,” Longoria says, referring to the belovedMexican seasoningthat adds a zippy, tangy and spicy element to anything it touches.
Strain the shaken margarita mixture into your glass, finish with 3 dashes of orange bitters and garnish with a slice of lime or jalapeño.
Longoria adds in her Instagram caption, “Let me just say, it’s FIRE,❤️🔥😋” And after taking a sip, she confirms, “I’ve outdone myself.”
Friends and fans seem to agree: “I’m coming overrrr,” says fellow actor Holly Robinson Peete. Others chimed in to say, “we’ll take two 🔥” and “Yum! 🤤🔥”
