National Margarita Day
QA Margarita Drink
Happy National Margarita Day!
That got me thinking if I was a bartender and I had to create a Margarita drink for QA, what would it be?
- Hot and Spicy?
- Green and Red?
- Extra Strong for those test days?
- Mostly water - playing it safe?
My selection would be a Green Margarita made with Super Green Juice. That's basically a mix of Apples, Lemons, Romaine, and Cucumber.
Typical Margarita Ingredients
- 1 lime wedge, plus 2 lime wheels for garnish
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt, for glass rims
- 4 ounces (120ml) high-quality blanco tequila
- 2 ounces (60ml) Cointreau
- 1 1/2 ounces (45ml) fresh juice from 2 limes
Directions
- Run lime wedge around the outer rims of 2 rocks glasses and dip rims in salt. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Fill with ice and shake until thoroughly chilled, about 15 seconds (the bottom of a metal shaker should frost over).
- Fill glasses with fresh ice and strain margarita into both glasses. Garnish with lime wheels and serve.
