Recipe: Agave Margarita

Margaritas are one of my favorite drinks.  I used to buy the big jug of Jose Cuervo margarita mix and blend it with ice and tequila to make frozen margaritas.  But recently I found a new way of making margaritas that I think is even better.  Here is an agave margarita recipe I found on Bon Appetit's website.

Agave Margarita

Ingredients:

• Kosher salt
• 2 lime slices or wedges
• ¼ cup tequila blanco
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup (nectar) 
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice

Instructions:

• Pour some kosher salt into a small dish. Rub 1 lime slice over half the rim of an Old Fashioned glass (if you prefer your Margarita on the rocks) or a coupe glass (if you prefer it up). Dip rim of glass into salt. 
  
• Combine tequila, agave syrup, and juice in a cocktail shaker; fill with ice and shake well. Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with second lime slice.

Servings: makes 1 drink
