The Fresh Lime Margarita as It Was Meant to Be Made
For many,
The real secret to a great margarita is choosing the best tequila, so save these for special occasions with just a few friends. Start this recipe the day before your party -- it's worth it. The longer the zest and juice mixture is allowed to steep, the more developed the citrus flavors in the finished margaritas. The full 24 hours is best, although the margaritas will still be great if the mixture is steeped only for the minimum 4 hours.
Classic Fresh Lime Margarita
Makes 4-6 drinks.
4 teaspoons grated lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice (from 2 to 3 medium limes)
4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup lemon juice (from 2 to 3 medium lemons)
1/4 cup superfine sugar
Pinch table salt
2 cups crushed ice
1 cup 100 percent agave tequila, such as Don Julio Reposado Tequila
1/4 cup
1/4 cup Triple Sec
Combine lime zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, sugar, and salt in large liquid measuring cup; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors meld, 24 hours.
Divide 1 cup crushed ice between 4 or 6 margarita or double old-fashioned glasses. Strain juice mixture into 1-quart pitcher or cocktail shaker. Add tequila,
Strain into ice-filled glasses. Serve immediately.
