Margarita Recipe for Men

By

But a margarita, when done right, can be not only a delicious, but classy (and even manly) drink.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 oz. tequila of Choice (Silver or Reposado works best)
  • 3 key limes (or 1 regular lime)
  • Agave Nectar
  • 1/2 oz. fresh-squeezed orange juice (optional)
  • Sea Salt
  • A few ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium-sized shaker combine tequila, ice cubes, juice from 2-3 whole key-limes, a splash of fresh-squeezed orange juice and use agave nectar to sweeten to taste (try to limit it to 3 tbsp). Shake until ice is mostly dissolved. Glaze half of your cocktail glass’s rim with agave nectar and salt it lightly with sea salt. Serve on the rocks.

That’s it: Simple, clean, delicious, perfect. You’ll find that this drink won’t be as overly tart as most bar-quality margaritas, and the agave nectar really brings out the flavors and nuances of the tequila you choose. If the completed drink is a little too strong for your tastes, a little water is acceptable to break the intensity a bit. This drink will impress your friends, please the ladies and, best of all, taste great. Salud.
