You know, during these times, you… might want a cocktail…. or 3. Who’s to judge?! I am CLEARLY not judging. I am, in fact, encouraging it. Margaritas have been a staple right now. Why? Because I have a TON of tequila I bought a while back and I said “that is for a rainy day” and guess what my friend. It’s pouring. So, I am pouring myself a glass. Come on by, but keep your distance or better yet, make this one at home. We can zoom or FaceTime and talk about it. Here’s my perfect margarita recipe.

Ingredients:

Kosher salt (for serving)
1/2 thick lime (or lemon) wheel
2 ounces (I do 2 shots, because life is short) of tequila (blanco is best, use what you have)
3/4 ounce of fresh lime (or lemon) juice
3/4 ounce of simple syrup

1. Rub the rim of an old fashion glass with lime/lemon and dip in salt. fill with ice and set aside

2. Combine tequila, lime/lemon juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker (or in a metal container filled with ice) shake (if you have the cocktail shaker) or stir aggressively (if using a metal container) until very cold.

3. Strain cocktail into glass, enjoy.

Stay safe and classy my friends!
