The Margarita Classica

So this is one of the best sellers for the Happy Hour up at L'Ecole. As usual we make everything we can short of the alcohol in house not only to help with teaching students like myself but also becasue it gives it a much better taste. The secret to this drink is the Lime juice.

Margarita Classica

Hardware:

Shaker
Jigger
Margarita Glass
Rimmer


Ingredients:
2 oz      Tequila
1 oz      Cointreau
1 oz      Lime Juice (Fresh)
1 splsh  Simple Syrup
Lime Juice
Kosher Salt

Construction:
Fill the shaker a little over half full of Ice and add Tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice, and simple syrup, (A splash is a splash, if there is liquid running out of the bottle and you haven't pulled up you've added to much) Cap and shake for 2 minutes.

Prep the glass by soaking the rimmer in lime juice, with even pressure set the rim of the Margarita glass on the pad and roll the stem between the thumb and forefinger giving an even coating of lime juice, repeat with Kosher salt.

Strain Drink into the preped glass, it should be a nice light green color and smell of lime and Orange. Garnish with a lime twist and serve, refreshing and light highly recommended for the Summer Barbecue.
