Margarita Madness!!

AKA Alice dropped by my site yesterday, thanks so much, don't be a stranger!

This morning, bright and early, I flip over to see what she has been up to and wham, there is a fabulous Margarita recipe that is just crying out to me.

No, I didn't make one for breakfast, but be sure this being our Civic Holiday long weekend coming up and me with a new blender....well, I can hear it whirling now!!!





Here's the recipe





For the MIX;

1 cup fresh lemon juice

1 cup fresh lime juice

1 cup simple syrup (1/2 c sugar and 1/2 c water...on low heat until
sugar dissolves into water)

dash or two of salt


For the MARGARITA;

1 c mix

1 c really good tequila (AKA Alice uses Patron) I use Sauza, because that's what's in the cupboard.

1/2 c really good triple-sec or Cointreau

Shake w/ice (AKA uses a martini shaker) and pour over ice

Garnish with a lime wedge.



Back to reality, no holiday today, so I'd better hustle my butt off to work.

Life's fun if you don't weaken!

It's a real marg!!!

To get the most juice out of your limes make sure they are room temp or warm them in water. Otherwise a cup of lime juice will last a week. ;)

We'll be on the road to NL. (Are you sick of me going on about this?)

Oh, it is only 9:30, but now I want a margarita! I have Jose Cuervo and Suaza in the cupboard, but you are going to mix it anyway, so oh well!

I will soooooo be making another batch on Monday in honor of your Civic Holiday! I am so honored to help Canada celebrate in style!

PS...I really do recommend the Patron. Good tequila = good margs

Aye Carumba - you make your margarita's STRONG.

I use 1 part tequila, a little triple-sec, and 3 parts mix.
