DRINK RECIPE

Margarita

This drink is a real treat from South of the Border. Although most of us think of summer when we think of having a margarita (because that is when the Frozen Margarita is at its best), the fire found in a traditional margarita and its variations will add warmth on cool winter nights.

Take a cocktail glass and rub the lime wedge around the rim, dip rim in the salt.

1 1/2 oz. Tequila
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
1 oz. Lime Juice or Sweet & Sour
Bar Salt

Garnish - Lime Squeeze

In a shaker with ice combine Tequila, Triple Sec, & Lime Juice. Shake well a strain into the cocktail glass.

On the Rocks - Fill a salted bucket glass with ice. Build this 'Maggie' right in the glass.

Frozen Margarita - Blend ingredients with a scoop of ice, serve in a salted large stem 'Margarita' glass. Frozen Fruit Margaritas can be made by adding a scoop of fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches, pineapples, etc.)

Variations:

Blue Margarita - Substitute blue Curacao for triple sec

Cadillac Margarita - Use gold tequila and substitute Cointreau for triple sec. Float a 1/2 oz. of Grand Marnier on top.

Melon Margarita - Substitute Midori for triple sec

Strawberry - Substitute Strawberry Liqueur for triple sec
