Maxine and margaritas ...

The Perfect Margarita:

Tip #1: Shaken, not stirred (and NEVER made in a blender).
Tip #2: Serve Margaritas straight up or on the rocks, NEVER frozen.
Tip #3: Use Kosher (not iodized) salt.
Tip #4: Never EVER drink and drive.

For Traditionalists: (3-2-1 recipe)
3 parts Tequila (100% blue agave)
2 parts Cointreau (never Triple sec)
1 part freshly squeezed lime juice.

-OR-

For Grand Marnier fans:
1 oz Tequila (100% blue agave)
1 oz Grand Marnier liqueur
1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
(or try the 3-2-1 ratio)

Pour all ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake to your liking and strain into a margarita glass rimmed with Kosher salt. Garnish with a lime wedge and ENJOY!
