Woo-hoo! It's Friday, so let's celebrate with a margarita!
There are many stories as to its origin, but I won't go there. Straight on to the recipe!
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass, highball glass, or even a little Mason jar. As you can tell, I'm not picky. Dip the rim (make sure it's good and moist) into some Kosher salt. Make sure it is Kosher salt -- its grains are just right for margaritas. The best way to do this is to sprinkle some on a plate and commence dipping.
In a shaker full of ice, measure out:
1 1/2 oz. Tequila
1/2 oz. Cointreau or Triple Sec
2 oz Key Lime juice -- regular limes work in a pinch. Do not use bottled lime juice (ick!).
Shake, shake, shake! Pour into a salt-rimmed glass and garnish with a lime wedge. I like to garnish with a slice of orange as well.
¡Salud!
