The Best Margaritas

Since moving to Massachusetts, I've mourned the loss of my favorite drink in Austin - the Mexican Martini. I've settled on the following method of margarita making to satisfy my margarita cravings when they come. It is a simple recipe that requires only four ingredients:

Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice

Agave Syrup

Tequila (100% de agave is best)

Orange Juice

We don't use triple sec because we never have it and I prefer not to buy it.

You need a few other things to make the margaritas:

A shotglass (preferably with a longhorn on the front), a shaker, fresh lime slices, ice, and martini glasses.

Oh yeah, and you need salt too!

Get your glasses ready. This recipe makes 2 margaritas.

Shake together the following ratio of ingredients over ice:

3 shots tequila

1 shot agave syrup

1 shot orange juice

2 shots lime juice

Shake, shake, shake, and then pour...

... and enjoy!
