Perfect Margarita
I saw a show today that claimed to make the perfect margarita. This is what Alton Brown claims to be the perfect Margarita:
- dip a Margarita glass in Tequila then wait 10 seconds then dip into Kosher salt
- squeeze the juice of two limes into a steel shaker
- into a different steel shake put one orange cut into eights, one and a half limes cut into sixths and 2 ounces of Agave nectar then muddle for two whole minutes and strain into the first steel shaker that has the lime juice
- add two ounces of excellent quality Tequila to the first steel shaker and three good quality ice cubes ~ pop the lid onto said steel shaker and shake for a full 30 seconds
- strain into the rimmed Tequila glass and add a slice of lime
Enjoy
