After living in Austin Texas for 10 years, my husband and I perfected the perfect margarita. The secret to success is fresh fruit juice only and it doesn't use any pre-made mixes! Don't skimp and try buying juice. Squeeze it yourself or you won't get the best taste! If you are a real olive lover, add pimento stuffed olives and call it a 'Mexican martini'...delicious! and you won't confuse yours with anyone else's if you add 3 olives on a stirrer. :) Ingredients:
1/2 cup ice cubes |
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger silver tequila |
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger cointreau |
2 teaspoons grand marnier liqueur (optional) |
2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jiggers freshly squeezed lime juice |
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger freshly squeezed orange juice |
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger freshly squeezed lemon juice |
3 pimento-stuffed green olives (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place the ice cubes into a margarita glass. Pour in the tequila, Cointreau, and Grand Marnier. Pour in the lime juice, orange juice, and lemon juice to taste. Garnish with a pimento stuffed olive if desired
