PERFECT BLUE AGAVE MARGARITA
A very simple and refreshing margarita made with silver tequila, fresh limes and blue agave nectar. Blue agave nectar is a very light and natural sweetener made from the blue agave plant. You can find it at your supermarket (Whole Foods/Sprouts) or online (Amazon). No need for additional sweeteners, triple sec or anything else. Just pure and simple and very smooth. My wife, who hates margaritas on the rocks, loves this mix.

PERFECT AGAVE MARGARITA
Much research has caused me to determine that most Americans have been led down the 'preverbal' path in the ingredients of a great margarita. We have grown to love lime aid with some added tequila as what we know as a margarita. Hopefully this recipe will help to change that. But, as I always say--to each his/her own. Some will...

- 2. Mix well with a spoon or cover the jar and shake very gently.
- 3. To salt the rim of your glass (optional) drag a cut lime around the rim and then gently dip the rim in a saucer filled with fluer de sel so that the salt sticks to the rim.

Steps:
- In a blender, combine all ingredients except ice. Add enough ice to come to the top of the liquid. Blend on high until smooth.
- If desired, serve in a salt-rimmed margarita glass or garnished with a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh limes, good-quality tequila, and 100% agave nectar for the best flavor.
- Use a quality margarita mix: If you don't have time to make your own mix, choose a quality store-bought one. Look for brands that use fresh lime juice and agave nectar.
- Don't over-shake the margarita: Shaking the margarita too much will dilute it and make it watery. Shake it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Serve the margarita immediately: Margaritas are best enjoyed fresh. Don't let them sit around for too long, or the ice will melt and dilute the drink.
- Garnish with a lime wedge: A lime wedge adds a pop of color and flavor to the margarita. It's also a classic way to garnish this cocktail.
