Margarita - Jeffrey Morgenthaler

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60ml) Blanco (Silver) Tequila. Always buy 100% Agave Tequila.
• 1 oz (30ml) Triple Sec (Countreu)
• 3/4oz (22ml) Lime Juice
• 3/4oz (22ml) Juice Lemon
• 3/4oz (22ml) 1:1 Simple Syrup
• Garnish - Lemon or lime wheel
• Optional - Salt rim
• Glass - Old Fashioned or Coup/Cocktail Glass

Instructions:

1. Salt rim of glass if desired
2. Shake all ingredients over ice and double-strain into old fashioned glass with ice or a chilled stemmed glass
3. Garnish with a lime wheel

Notes
My favorite margarita recipe! Fresh, with the tart and strong balanced with the sweet. Great for summer and there's even a bulk version of it that makes 21 drinks. Would drink again. I didn't have any old fashioned at the time so the Collins Glass stood in.
