Margarita Recipe

Margarita!!!

So I’m not sure when this site became the imbiber’s blog (which is a good name for a blog) but I thought I’d go ahead and post another drink recipe…my Margarita recipe. It’s pretty standard really but this is exactly how I like to make them at the house.

Ingredients:
- 2 oz. Herradura Tequila 100% de Agave Blanco! (A little pricey but, listen here now, worth it.)
- 1 oz. Cointreau (Again, a little pricey but if you’re going to do something you might as well do it right!)
- Tsp. Agave nectar
- The juice of a lime or two depending on taste. (Always fresh lime juice…always.)

Directions:
Rinse off a highball glass and place in the freezer while you work. Put Calexico’s Carried to Dust on the HiFi. Fill a shaker ¾ the way full with crushed or bagged ice, no big-ass cubes. Poor in the Herradura (pause to take a small nip from the bottle), the Cointreau, agave nectar, and lime juice. Save one piece of a lime you cut in half for garnish later. Shake till the shaker frosts over. Poor into your chilled highball (you can salt the rim if you prefer) and plop the used half of lime in the center. Pretend it’s a little green island in the Margarita ocean.
