Summer Drink Series: Agave Sweetened Margarita

Hello Darlings!

In honor of my girls’ weekend trip to Vegas, I thought I would share a rather traditional desert drink: the margarita! I know there are about a bazzilion different recipes floating around with all kinds of incredible additives (I may have very unsuccessfully been on the hunt for off-season prickly pear juice) but I do believe my favorite margarita is an incredibly well made ‘rita on the rocks with plenty of salt! Simple and fresh the Agave Sweetened Margarita is a margarita purist’s dream.



Ingredients:

3 Ounces Tequila (I happen to like yellow tequila, some prefer white)
2 Ounces Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1 ½ Ounces Cointreau (yes, not triple sec!)
1 ½ Teaspoons Agave Nectar
Salt for Rim



Instructions:

1. Pour tequila and Cointreau into a cocktail shaker.


2. Add agave nectar and freshly squeezed lime juice.


3. Add Ice and shake vigorously to blend.
4. Using a lime rind, wet the outside of your margarita glass.
5. While the rim is wet, dip into a shallow dish of salt.


6. Pour margarita into salt-rimmed glass over ice.


7. Garnish with a lime.


8. Enjoy!
