this is a good thing. i mean, a really, really good thing. it’s a one word dealie.
MARGARITA.
let that sit for a second.
ok, ready? mar.ga.rita. love that word. care for it. more than the word, the execution of the of the word is the central ingredient that conjures images of grass skirts, white sand, and paper umbrellas in your coconut drinks. refreshing, delicious, and summery, the margarita is the epitome of yumm.
what it is not… it is NOT tequila and margarita mix. no. no no no. NOOOOO. that is the grossest beverage known to man. or woman. or beach lover.
so… what it is then…? it is the perfect concoction of tequila blanco (yes, it MUST be white tequila. not gold. i prefer sauza blanc, or jimmy buffet margaritaville tequila <— it already has a mild lime flavor to it), sour mix (it is imperative that you use sour mix, NOT margarita mix. i like daileys), triple sec, and my secret ingredient (shhhh!) orange juice (i use simply orange cuz it is sooo good and we always have it in our fridge). here’s how they go in: approximately half tequila, half sour mix. a splash of triple sec, and a splash of orange juice. when you taste it, you’ll know right away if it needs adjusting. the perfect margarita won’t have any weird after taste, and the smoothest during taste. all the flavors will blend so perfectly - you will fall completely and madly in love. don’t even worry about it. don’t forget ice! (;
here’s mine tonight! my husband made them (: floating flamingo ice cubes… first time without a salt rim (specialty glasses… i was afraid of scratching them!)… perfection!
deliciousness
