The Tangerine Margarita

I know it’s not Cinco de May anymore, but these margaritas are a spring-into-summer treat worth drinking almost every day.

Almost.

Because if you start drinking them every day — you may have a problem.

Tangerine Margarita
makes one margarita

ingredients:
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed tangerine juice {1-2 tangerines}
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice {1 -2 limes}
1/4 cup pure agave tequila {silver}
1.5 tablespoons agave nectar
coarse salt, for the rim {optional}

If you like a salted rim {who doesn’t??!!}, run a slice of lime along the top of your glass then dip in salt.

Combine the tangerine and lime juices, along with the tequila and agave nectar. I like my margarita a little on the tart side, but if you prefer a sweeter drink feel free to add more agave nectar. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and shake the ingredients — OR fill a large glass with ice and stir the ingredients together. This is what we call the poor man’s cocktail shaker.

Fill your salt-rimmed glass with ice and strain the margarita into the glass.

Take a sip, imagine yourself on the beach in Mexico {minus that whole drug cartel thing…}, and enjoy.

Adios,
