Matt and I like to have margaritas occasionally.   A vacation in a glass, they make us think of our trip to Mexico .  Needing some R&R, we decided to have one this weekend and it totally scratched our vacation itch… at least for a minute or two.  So here you have it, my simplified version of a margarita.

“So Refreshing You’ll Think You’re Sitting On the Beach In Mexico” Margaritas

(click here for a printer-friendly version)

1 1/2 oz. tequila

1/2 oz. Cointreau

1 oz. fresh lime juice

1/2 oz. agave

Throw everything into a shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for a few seconds.  Pour into a glass filled with ice.  OR blend it all up in the blender.  Either way you make it, I know it’ll hit the spot.
