How to Make a Great Margarita

The Margarita has deteriorated terribly over the past ten years and is often made too sweet in bars and other establishments. Modern margaritas have too much mixer and not enough tequilia and lime.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tequilia, Cointreau, fresh limes, salt and some funky margarita glasses

1. 

   Select a premium brand tequila. I suggest either Don Julio Cointreau or Silver Patron.

2. 

   Pour your premium tequlia in a shaker with some crushed ice. You will be doing this quickly so the ice does not dilute the margarita

3. 

   Add a shot of premium triple sec, I suggest Cointreau

4. 

   Add 2-3 fresh limes. Make sure to squeeze them directly into the shaker with the tequlia, triple sec, and ice.

5. Add a shot of organge juice and shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds.

6. 

   Take a funky margarita glass, dip it in water, dip it in salt, and add ice.

7. 

   Pour the margarita from the shaker into the glass and ENJOY!

Tips & Warnings

• Drink at least one margarita a day.
