Classic margaritas

*makes 2*

Ingredients:

• 3oz silver tequila
• 3oz fresh squeezed lime juice (about 6 limes)
• 2oz Cointreau

A few notes on making this:

• Make sure your lime juice is fresh squeezed, and not the bottled stuff—it makes a huge difference in flavor.
• Have lots of ice on hand—these taste best very cold with lots of ice.
• You don’t have to salt your glass rims, but if you prefer salt, use a nice finishing salt or sea salt—not table or kosher.

Directions:

• Juice limes—you can use a hand juicer, but for a lot of limes, I love this automatic one. 
• If desired, run the juiced lime half over the rims of two double old fashioned glasses and dip glasses in sea salt.
• Fill glasses with ice and place in freezer.
• Add tequila, lime juice and Cointreau to shaker filled with ice.
• Shake vigorously 30-40 times.
• Remove glasses from freezer and strain the shaken margaritas into glasses.
• Enjoy!
