A good margarita is a real joy. It refreshes and opens up the appetite. It is the ultimate combination of sweet and sour.A real margarita is very simple… fresh limes, Cointreau or its Mexican cousin Controy, and good tequila. Always use a high quality tequila that says 100% Agave on the label. Unless the label says 100% agave… it is probably 49% rum. So pay a little more and get the real thing!
The blend is straightforward – 1/3 fresh lime juice (should be pressed within 30 minutes of use) 1/3 Controy, 1/3 tequila. Put all in the blender with lots of ice… and presto!!! a delicious margarita!
A good margarita should have a little bite… it should get your taste buds tingling. There are quite a few variations on the traditional recipe… one even includes cucumber.
If you don’t have a lime juicer try this – just throw the whole lime into the blender along with 50 ml of tequila and 50 ml of Controy and a handful of ice… hit the blend button – mmmmm! Easy, fast and delicious!
Salud!
