Here’s my favorite Margarita recipe. Blender not required.
Our Perfect Margarita
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila (I prefer Cazadores)
- 1.5 oz orange liqueur (Cointreau is a favorite)
- Kosher salt
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- Extra limes for garnish and rimming the glass
Directions
Squeeze a few teaspoons of lime juice into a small plate and sprinkle kosher salt on a second. Rub the rim of a chilled glass in the lime juice, then gently press the edge of the glass into the salt.
Skip the blender and shake the tequila, orange liquer, and lime juice vigorously with crushed ice in a cocktail shaker.
Pour into salted glass either straight up or over ice.
Serves 1
Make more than one and share with friends.
