Recipe: Marry Me Margarita
2 Servings
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. tequila
- 2 oz. Cointreau (you can also use triple sec)
- 1 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz. sweetened lime juice (optional, otherwise use another 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice)
- Agave nectar or simple syrup to sweeten, as desired
- Coarse salt and lime slices, to garnish
Directions:
Run a lime slice along the rim of your margarita glass. Dip the rim of the glass onto a small plate with coarse salt until coated. Set aside. Mix tequila, Cointreau, and lime juices together in a cocktail shaker. Shake until combined. Taste and add sweetener as desired. Start with a small amount, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. Mix after each addition and taste again. Fill salt rimmed glasses with ice. Pour the margarita mix over ice. Garnish with a lime slice and serve immediately.
