National Margarita Day

Saturday, February 22nd was National Margarita Day.  Who could say no to celebrating on this great day.  It was nice a warm, a brake from our very cold and bitter winter, so a margarita just seemed right. Last summer I had been ding some research and experimenting to mix the perfect margarita.  I don't like  using the mixes that tend to be overly sweet and syrups.  I found that using fresh simple ingredients made the perfect margaritas.  The recipe has boiled down to this

1 shot tequila (I like using silver)

1 shot cointreau 

1 shot of fresh squeezed juice (I have become a fan of grapefruit and some fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is the perfect combination of tangy and sweet.  You can also experiment with using different juices, shown below is a blood orange italian soda.)

Adjust quantities to your liking.  Garnish with a lime slice and a gold pom pom stirrer and enjoy!

Enjoy Responsibly. 

peace&love
