Old-School Margaritas

Oh boy are these good margaritas. I tend to be a purist–over ice, salt on the rim, fresh-squeezed lime juice, blanco tequila, Cointreau, a hot day, street tacos, rice, beans. Mic drop.

Old-School Margaritas

Author: keriawilliams

Ingredients

Servings

• 1 part freshly-squeezed lime juice
• 1 part blanco tequila
• 1/2 part Cointreau (or more to your liking--I like my margaritas on the austere side, so this proportion works for me)
• salt (for the rim--optional, but tell me if you don't)
• ice (serve on the rocks)

Instructions

1. Add lime juice, tequila and Cointreau to a carafe or measuring cup (for convenience), stir well to mix.

   

1. Pour a little salt onto a plate. Dip the rim of a chilled glass in the margarita mixture, and then dip the wet rim in salt. Fill glass with ice and pour margarita over ice. Serve immediately.
