Steps:
- 1. PREP WORK: Plan ahead and it will go smoothly. Give your margarita glasses a quick rinse and set them in the freezer for an hour or so, and they will have a beautiful rim of frost on them when you take them out. (If you are making margaritas for 30 or 40 people, you can use small martini glasses, set them on a tray and put the tray in the freezer.) Slice the lime into wedges and cut the center of each with a sharp knife so it rests on the rim of the glass. Have your margarita salt poured into a saucer ready to use.
- 2. MAKE THE MARGARITAS: Add 1 shot of Bols Triple Sec, 1/3 cup Cointreau, 2/3 cup of Jose Cuervo tequila.
- 3. Fill crushed ice up to under the top part of the handle of the blender. This will be a little over three to four cups of crushed ice. (My blender is an Oster.)
- 4. Pour 2 cups of Mr. and Mrs. T's Sweet and Sour mix up to the top, be careful not to overflow when you start the blender. Blend fast. It will be nice and slushy.
- 5. Take your frosty glasses and a piece of sliced lime and run it around the lip of the rim, and immediately roll the rim in the margarita salt. Pour the frozen margarita mixture into the glasses, and add a slice of lime to the rim. This makes 3 old-fashioned bowl-shaped margarita glasses or three of today's tapered glasses. Just before drinking, squeeze your lime slice into your drink, and drop it into your margarita, stir, and Enjoy!
- 6. Trivia: Did you know that the old-fashioned bowl-shaped margarita glasses are hard to find anymore. So if you run across any at flea markets, they are good to collect. I have about 30 and they are beautiful.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lime juice and high-quality tequila are essential for a great margarita. Avoid using bottled or pre-made mixes, as they often contain artificial flavors and sweeteners.
- Chill Your Ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making the margarita will help to create a more refreshing and flavorful drink. You can chill your tequila, lime juice, and glassware in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes before mixing.
- Use the Right Proportions: The classic margarita recipe calls for a 3:2:1 ratio of tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau. However, you can adjust these proportions to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter margarita, you can add more Cointreau or simple syrup. If you prefer a more tart margarita, you can add more lime juice.
- Shake or Stir: Margaritas can be shaken or stirred. Shaking the margarita will create a frothy, aerated drink, while stirring will create a smoother, more elegant drink. If you are using a blender, blend the margarita on low speed until the ingredients are well combined.
- Garnish with Lime and Salt: The classic margarita is garnished with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt. The salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the margarita and adds a refreshing touch. You can also garnish your margarita with other fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries.
Conclusion:
The margarita is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its refreshing and flavorful combination of tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau, the margarita is sure to please everyone. Whether you prefer a classic margarita or a more modern variation, there is a recipe out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the margarita a try.
