If you haven’t realized it by now I am a huge tequilla drinker! It reminds me of a better place on the beach in Mexico :) Since it is Cinco De Mayo today and this year I was unfortunatly lacking on a party to share with you, this twist on the traditional Margarita will have to do! We are approaching summer and I love everything lemon right now – especially plain ole lemon water, it’s so good for surpressing your appitite! This lemon margarita is to die for and is a borrowed recipe from Epicurious. Enjoy and happy drinking!
INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup white Tequila
- 1/3 cup Triple Sec
- Coarse salt for coating the rims of the glasses
DIRECTIONS
Dip the rims of 4 long-stemmed glasses in the lemon juice and put the glasses in the freezer. In a sealable bottle or pitcher combine the Tequila, the Triple Sec, the remaining lemon juice, and about 2 cups crushed ice, seal the bottle, and shake the Margarita vigorously until it is very cold and the ice is almost melted. Remove the glasses from the freezer, dip the rims in the salt, shaking off the excess, and fill the glasses with ice cubes. Divide the Margaritas among the glasses.
