Ingredients
- Fresh Sour Mix:
- 4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 oz honey or agave nectar
- 12 oz water
Preparation
Step 1
Squeeze the lime juice into a glass measuring cup until you get 4 oz.
Add the honey or agave nectar until the liquid level rises to the 6 oz mark.
Stir with a small whisk until the honey has dissolved.
Combine this with 12 oz of water and stir.
How to salt a glass rim:
It is best to use kosher salt, or sea salt that is course ground.
Sprinkle a layer of salt on to a plate.
Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of a glass, invert the glass onto the plate and rub it around a bit. Done.
Salt your glass rim BEFORE pouring in the margarita
Margarita:
Margaritas are for drinking with your best friends. So, they are always made at least two at a time.
Start with your trusty stainless steel cocktail shaker, add about 5-6 standard size ice cubes so that the bottom third of the shaker is iced.
Pour two shots of good tequila (a shot is 2 oz) over the ice.
Pour one shot of Contreau (or other premium orange liqueur) over that.
Pour four shots of Fresh Sour Mix over that.
Put the top on your cocktail shaker (hold with two hands to keep the top on) and shake for about 15 seconds.
Use the strainer top of your cocktail shaker to pour Marvelous Margaritas into two glasses, alternating with a splash in to this one, a splash in to that one, between the two glasses – on ice, or up. Garnish with lime wedge.
