Champion Margarita

Here's another summer recipe. This is from my sister - it didn't make it into the cookbook we put together in 2005, so if you own a copy, here's a bonus. You can find more recipes from us at http://cookingtotaste.ning.com/


A good Californian bartender had better be able to make a great margarita. This recipe would always win over the connoisseurs.


Servings: 1 large glass
Prep Time: 30 seconds because you’re a bartender and you have 100 other drinks to make.

1 ½ shots Tequila
1 ½ shots Triple sec
3 shots Sweet and sour mix
½ shot Lime juice
kosher or sea salt
fresh lime

Dip the rim of a large glass in a puddle of sweet and sour mix, then dip onto a plate of the salt for an even coat along the edge.

On the rocks (recommended): Fill with ice then add the tequila and triple sec, the sweet and sour mix, and the fresh lime juice. Stir briefly.

Blended: Blend liquid ingredients with about a glassful of ice. Pour into salted glass.

Garnish with a wheel of fresh lime. Be prepared to make more.
