There are as many tales about who first concocted that most popular tequila
drink, the margarita, as there are variations on making one. Since the
drinking of mezcal and tequila with citrus juice has been around for
centuries, and a lick of salt is a traditional accompaniment, on a slight
modification was necessary to change this most Mexican of flavors into
one of today's favorite cocktails.
You can experiment with different tequilas, types of orange liquers, and
shaking the ingredients versus blending them with the ice.
INGREDIENTS:
Making the Margarita:
1. In a cocktail shaker or a jar with a lid, combine the tequila, Cointreau,
lime juice and ice. Shake 12 to 15 times. Remember, the more that you
shake, the more the ice will diffuse into the drink.
2. Spread salt on a small, flat plate. Moisten the rims of two 6-oz glasses,
preferably long-stemmed, with the lime wedges and invert onto the plate of
salt, then shake off any excess. Strain the margarita mixture into the
glasses and serve immediately.
