This is my award-winning recipe for margaritas. They've led to more than one good party. | |
The recipe is "paella-style", meaning it's not exact and a lot of eyeballing is required. | |
I recommend tasting throughout, ideally with a sober partner in crime. | |
Tools you'll need: | |
- lemon and lime squeezers OR powerful hands (probably best to get the squeezers, they're no more than $20) | |
- pitcher(s) - this recipe easily makes 2 full pitchers | |
- margarita glasses (or plain old cups) | |
Ingredients: | |
- N lemons | |
- N x 2 limes | |
- 1 bottle agave nectar (I like raw and organic, can get it at Whole Foods or similar store) | |
- 1 bottle good tequila (Don Julio Silver is a favorite choice, as is Leyenda de Milagro) | |
- 1 bottle Grand Marnier (You can use Cointreau if you're on a budget squeeze) | |
Steps: | |
- In a very large bowl, squeeze all lemons and limes. | |
- Add at least 3/4 bottle of tequila | |
- add agave nectar until you cannot taste the alcohol | |
- add Grand Marnier until the flavor comes through (the mix should be dark but lemon colored) | |
- serve and drink! | |
Notes: | |
- the key is squeezing all the lemons and limes by hand. You'll get numb to the smell about 3-4 | |
lemons in but people will notice. It's a lot of work but creates an excellent margarita. | |
- the key in the design of the recipe is the agave nectar. Combined with fresh-squeezed lemons and | |
limes, it can convince pretty much anyone that the mix is virgin. Little do they know how much | |
actual tequila you've added. | |
- if you want to go all out and impress your friends, get a bottle of Grand Mayan tequila. This | |
stuff is expensive but when you drink it, you will understand why. It's easily some of the best | |
tequila out there. It has a pretty hefty price tag, though. |
