I don't know if you've figured this out yet, but my kryptonite is margaritas. (Oh, and chips and salsa, too!) I'm always looking for news ways to spice up my favorite drink and found this lovely recipe a few days ago while reading one of my daily reads, Design*Sponge.
- juice of 1 lime
- juice of ½ orange
- juice of ½ lemon (Meyer lemon, if available)
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce Cointreau
- 3” stems of ginger (more if desired)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Serves 1
1. Squeeze all juice into a glass or small pitcher.
2. Add tequila, Cointreau and sugar.
3. Stir well.
4. Zest fresh ginger over the glass or pitcher (omit or add more to taste).
5. Strain the mixture with a fine sieve into another cup or a pitcher full of ice.
6. To garnish, rub lime wedge along the rim of your glass and dip it into the graham-cracker sugar mixture. Sprinkle sugared lime zest on a lime wedge and add to the glass rim.
