It’s a bit past Cinco de Mayo, but I think it would be safe to say that almost everyone enjoys a margarita in the summer months. The ingredients are typically fresh lime juice, tequila and simple syrup. Fair enough, serve it up in a salt rimmed glass of ice and you have a margarita. I like to kick it up a notch…So when you make a margarita, please do not buy a store bought mixer. No, no. The tequila should be 100% Agave. If you need to add Cointreau, by all means do. This is how I make mine…Buy a few limes, have fresh basil, and simple syrup on hand and just maybe a jalapeño. Pull out the cocktail shaker and fill it with ice, pulverized basil and if you’re really adventurous, a sliver or two of jalapeño (I love the heat of the ribs and seeds)!I just realized that I’m a food blogger of few words…who cares, I deliver!
