My favorite margarita recipe at the moment
My favorite margarita recipe is constantly evolving, but at the moment I like:
2 ounces tequila (I like Milagro blanco)
0.5 ounces orange liqueur (I like Patron Citronge)
0.5 ounces lime juice
0.25 ounces lemon juice
0.5 ounces agave nectar
1.5 ounces water (I find this to be key to a good margarita, as it smooths the drink out a bit. The water that melts from the ice when you shake the drink doesn't seem to be sufficient. You can also replace some of this water with sparkling water, just don't shake the drink with sparkling water of course.)
Shake with ice and fine strain (to remove pulp and ice bits from shaking) over ice.
I find that as time goes on I prefer a margarita with less citrus and sweetness.
