The wife and I recently acquired some higher-end tequila (Califino silver, reposado, anejo, and extra anejo), so I also bought some Cointreau and some fresh limes to make classic Margaritas.
My first attempt was an unmitigated disaster. The recipe I used was:
2 oz. tequila (I used the Califino anejo)
1/2 oz. triple sec (Cointreau)
1 1/2 oz. lime juice
put in a shaker with ice, shake, strain into salt-rimmed glass.
It was awful.
Anyone have a good recipe?
