Today is National Margarita Day and in lieu of the occassion {and given the huge presence margaritas have in San Antonio year round} we are posting for you a traditional Margarita Recipe, San Antonio style. Equal parts smooth, salty, sweet, and sour, this drink is delicious and refreshing. We like them best down here without all the concentrated syrup and fruity flavorings- just back to the basics.
Ingredients {Makes 1 margarita}
2 shots tequila {Your choice of gold, silver, or white} 2 shots freshly squeezed lime juice 2 shots Controy Licor de Naranjas {Orange Liquer for a subtle sweetness} Big scoop of ice
Bar Blender Margarita Glasses {Check out our festive Cactus-stemmed glasses!} Jigger Cocktail Shaker
What You’ll Do: For Margaritas on the Rocks: If you like your ’ritas’ on the rocks, add all the contents to a shaker and shake away. Pour over ice and garnish with a wedge of lime.
For Frozen Margaritas: If you like your ‘ritas’ frozen you will add all the contents to a bar blender and let it mix until the ice is in small flakes and the drink is at a slushy consistency.
Now, raise your glass and as they in Spanish: !Salud!
