Classic Lime Margarita

I love my fair share of margaritas… and love to try a wide variety of concoctions (ginger-jalapeno, watermelon, spicy strawberry, etc.), but I started laughing when I found out I’ve never shared my basic lime margarita recipe with you all! In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I present to you…

Classic Lime Margarita

• 1 1/2 oz high quality tequila
• 1  oz fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 oz orange liqueur (i.e. Cointreau)
• A heavy splash of agave (more or less to taste)

1. Add ingredients into a shaker and shake with ice.
2. Strain into an ice filled glass (rimmed with lime juice and salt if you prefer) and garnish with lime.
