Margaritas

A frosty margarita is the best hot weather drink ever and always turns a party into an occasion! Freshly squeezed lime juice is absolutely essential and good quality blue agave blanco tequila elevates the flavor mix to the sublime! The recipe mix can be multiplied for a larger gathering, placed in a pitcher and refrigerated.

Margarita  

Margaritas

  Makes 4

Prepare ahead: 4 glasses, frosted in the freezer

Place some flaky sea salt in a saucer large enough to accommodate the rim of the glass. When you are ready to salt the glasses, run a fresh lime wedge around the rim of each glass and then press into the saucer of salt.

• 8 oz fresh squeezed lime juice, strained
• 4 teaspoons triple sec
• 8 oz blue agave tequila blanco (white)
• 2 tablespoons fine granular sugar
• flaky sea salt
• ice cubes

Place the lime juice, triple sec, tequila, and sugar in a large cocktail shaker with ice and shake well.                            Pour over fresh ice in the salted frosted glasses and garnish with a sliced lime round on the rim.

If you prefer a frozen Margarita, place the ingredients in a blender and blend until the ice is completely broken down. Pour into glass and garnish with a sliced lime round.
