Margarita

 

 

Yields: 4-6 cocktails

6 ounces frozen limeade concentrate (1/2 can)

½ cup fresh lime juice

1 ½ cups Tequila (100% agave)

¼ cup Cointreau liqueur

 

Pour into the blender.

Ice

 

Add ice cubes to the blender up to the 5 cup mark. Blend well.

 

Lime wedges

Kosher salt

 

Place 2 Tbsp salt on a small plate. Run the lime around the lip of the glass and turn over into the salt to coat the edge.  Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the margaritas into the glasses. Garnish with lime wedges.

 

 

High quality tequila makes a big difference! Look for 100% agave tequila. Note that the popular Jose Cuervo is not 100% agave.  We prefer the silver tequila which has minimal oak aging.
