Ingredients
- 1 oz fresh lime juice 1 to 1 1/2 limes
- 1½ oz silver tequila blanco
- ½ oz orange liquor with tequila such as Patron Citronage
- ½ oz Cointreau or Grand Marnier
- ½ Agave *see notes
- Anejo tequila or brandy optional float
- Salt optional
Instructions
- Combine lime juice and remaining ingredients except for the float and salt. In a shaker, add ice and shake vigorously.
- Salt the rim of a margarita glass if desired. Pour into glass. Ice is optional.
- Float a small amount of anejo tequila or brandy over the top of the margarita.
- Serve.
Notes
The Cointreau adds a slight sweetness to the margarita. If you like a margarita that's not sweet, eliminate the agave. If you like a sweeter margarita add more agave a little at a time.
You can skip the Citronage by increasing the tequila to 2 ounces and the Cointreau to 1 ounce. Grand Marnier can be substituted for the Cointreau 1:1.
