Here at the casa we enjoy margaritas, A LOT! One summer we made it our job to find the perfect margarita. This one is made with Jose Cuervo , Cointreau, fresh lemon and lime juice and zest, served with a salted rim.
We tried many different brands of tequila, gold, silver, blanco, lots of them. Since this margarita isn't frozen the tequlia needs to be good. After much experimentation we landed on Jose Cuervo 1800. Of course you can use what you have on hand but we prefered the 1800. The Cointreau is just as important. The few ingredients in this drink need to stand on their own, Cointreau is much smoother a flavor compared to triple sec.
I juiced 1 cup each lemon and lime juice. Then I added the zest from 4 lemons and limes to the juice along with some sugar. The longer this mixture sits the better it is, over night is great if you have the time. Once you are ready to use the mixture strain out the zest.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz lemon lime juice
2 oz Cointreau
2 oz 1800 tequila
Shake with ice and pour into a salt rimmed margarita glass. Enjoy!
