The Margarita is one of my favorite drinks. If you order one at a Bar and you see the Bartender reaching for this:
Walk away.
If you’re thinking about making one at Home and using a Blender, unless you’re Jimmy Buffett, Don’t.
All you need to make the perfect Margarita is:
Squeeze 3 large Limes into the Shaker, keeping a Lime Wedge aside. Stir in just enough Agave to where the juice is not tart nor sweet.
Take the Lime Wedge and run it across the rim of your glass, (I like to use a Short Tumbler), then set aside again.
Dip the top of glass into the Salt for a nice coating.
Add 4 shots of Tequila and 2 of Triple Sec into the Shaker.
My Sous-Bartender is criticizing me for not using a more expensive Tequila, but for mixed drink, I don’t think it’s necessary. The Corralejo Reposado is fine for what we’re making. Now, if we were having Tequila Shots, it would be a different story.
Add Ice to the Shaker and start Shaking.
Strain into your Glass, then spoon some of the Ice from the Shaker into it, leaving some room on top.
Remove any remaining Ice from Shaker and store in the Fridge for refills.
Now, “float” some Grand Marnier on top and you just turned your Margarita into a Cadillac Margarita.
Take that Lime Wedge you had set aside, squeeze then drop it into your Glass.
Enjoy.
