PERFECT MARGARITA FULL

In a cocktail mixer 3/4 full of ice, combine tequila, Grand Marnier, cointreau, simple syrup, raspberry liqueur and lime juice. To do so, pour salt onto a small plate, moisten the rims of the glasses on a damp towel and press them into the salt. Or swap the salt out all together for tajin. Salt the rims of 2 large margarita glasses. Kosher salt will do the trick, and feel free to mix it with creative add-ins such as orange zest or cayenne. Coarse salt or flavored salt: Use this to rim the lip of each glass.Fresh fruit (optional): If you’d like to flavor your frozen margarita, you can add fresh fruit like watermelon, strawberry or even dragon fruit.Orange liqueur: Reach for an option like Cointreau.

Tequila: As a rule of thumb, 1 cup of tequila serves 4 people (2 ounces of tequila per drink).

Sweetener: You’ll want to add something that very easily dissolves – so there’s no graininess – such as superfine sugar, confectioners’ sugar, simple syrup or agave.“It’s best to add an extra 1/4 ounce of lime juice and sweetener to your frozen margarita for a perfectly balanced beverage.” Why? “The very cold temperature of the drink will actually dull the overall taste,” Neal says. Freshly squeezed lime juice: Frozen margaritas are best served slightly sweeter and more acidic than regular ol’ margaritas.Not only will crushed ice give you that desired frothy texture, but also it will also save the blades from becoming dull. Crushed ice: Neal suggests starting with crushed ice rather than whole cubes. agave syrup (equal parts agave nectar and water) Preparation Combine everything in a cocktail shaker, add ice, and shake.
