well it had been awhile since my man and i made homemade margs and tacos. it was a saturday night, and we just happened to have good-quality tequila (we love corralejo reposado) and leftover tri-tip on hand. after we determined we had everything we needed in our fridge and pantry, i started prepping for the tacos, and hubby started making some of the best margaritas you'll ever have...he's such a great bartender.
p.s. it's hard to keep our friends away if they know we're making margs at our place!
p.p.s. we got this recipe handed down from a family member.
homemade margarita recipe: makes 2 "potent" margs
ingredients
5 oz corralejo reposado tequila (or whichever you fancy)
3/4 oz agave
fresh lime juice (2-3 limes, depending on how tart/sweet you prefer)
marg salt or plum powder if you can find it (we like to do 1/2 and 1/2)
place ice in a cocktail shaker. use a jigger to measure, and add the agave. next, add the tequila (the alcohol cleanses the residual agave from the jigger...a tip from our family member). add the fresh lime juice, top the shaker and shake until your arm falls off, and yes, shaking time really does make a difference. take a slice of fresh lime and swipe the rim of each rocks glass. dip 1/2 the rim in the marg salt and 1/2 in the plum powder. pour thoroughly shaken margaritas into 2 rocks glasses filled w/ ice, and garnish w/ fresh lime. salud to date night!
