PERFECT MARGARITA


Serves 6


A good margarita depends on the quality of its ingredients; always use the best tequila you can

find. Margaritas can be made in a blender or served on the rocks, according to taste. Use a citrus

reamer, a small, fluted cylindrical wooden tool, to extract every last drop of juice from the limes.



1 lime, cut into 6 wedges

Coarse salt

Ice cubes

1 3/4 cups tequila

1/4 cup Cointreau

1/4 cup Grand Marnier

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

2 to 4 tablespoons Lime Simple Syrup


1. To salt-rim the glasses, rub a cut lime around the rim of each glass. Fill a saucer with salt, and

dip each glass, upside down, into the salt. Set aside.


2. Fill a blender jar three-quarters full of ice cubes. Pour tequila, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, lime

juice, and simple syrup over the ice. Begin blending on low, then increase the speed to high, until

the ice is very finely chopped and the mixture is frothy. Taste for sweetness, adding more simple

syrup if necessary. Blend a few seconds more, and pour into the salt-rimmed glasses. Serve

immediately.
