One of my very favorite cocktails is this classic lime Margarita. I add a touch of fresh orange juice to accentuate the lime and temper the acidity and shake it til it's ice cold. Served icy on the rocks, this drink shows that simple is best!
Kosher Salt In A SaucerTry mixing Tajin or other chili powder into your salt for a spicy rim!
Instructions
Run a lime wedge around the rim of 2 large glasses then dip rims into the saucer of salt then fill glasses with ice.
In an ice filled cocktail shaker, add juices, tequila and orange liqueur and shake until icy cold and well mixed. Pour into ice filled glasses and garnish with another lime wedge. Salud!
Notes
A cold cocktail is best served very cold so use plenty of ice when mixing your drink and then pour it into a glass filled with fresh ice for the best results.
Using good tequila and fresh squeezed juices make this classic margarita sing but beware, these are delicious and at 3 oz of alcohol per drink, one per person is all you need.
