Margarita Time!

I think it's about time for a cocktail, don't you? Below are some margarita recipes for your enjoyment! (All of the recipes are for one, but can be easily multiplied.)

Margarita

2 oz silver tequila
juice of half lime
1 oz orange curacao (or Cointreau)
Garnish: kosher salt & lime wedge

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Rim the lime wedge around the glass edge, and dip in salt. Pour into a margarita glass rimmed with salt and garnish with said lime wedge.

Frozen Pomegranate Margarita

2 ounces white tequila
1/2 ounce Triple Sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh or bottled pomegranate juice
6 ounces ice (or more)
Garnish: lime wedge & salt

Mix all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and frothy. Pour into glass, rimmed in salt and garnish with a lime wedge.



Blue Margarita

2 oz tequila
1 oz blue curacao
1 oz triple sec
1 oz Lime Juice
Garnish: kosher salt & lime wedge

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a margarita glass rimmed with salt. Garnish with lime wedge.

And a special, non-margarita recipe, but using tequila...

Tequila Sunrise

1 oz to 1 1/2 oz silver tequila
orange juice
1/2 oz grenadine

Fill a tall glass with ice. Add tequila and orange juice almost to full. Slowly pour grenadine syrup over a spoon on the top. It'll trickle down to create the "sunrise" effect.

Enjoy!!
