MARGARITAMAKES1 DRINKThe margarita is one of the most ordered bar drinks of all time, yet thereare as many ways to make one as there are bartenders making them. I like this formula because it not only tastes great, but the liquid ingredients are all equal parts, so I can multiply the recipe for a crowd without utilizing higher math. 1 ounce white tequila 1 ounce triple sec 1 ounce fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon superfine sugar Fill a cocktail shaker three-quarters full with ice. Add all the ingredients, cover, and shake well. Strain into a small cocktail glass with fresh ice.SERVING SUGGESTION:Before making the drink, wet the edge of the glass with lime juice, then dip it in coarse salt. Fill with ice and prepare the drink.VariationsBLACKBERRY MARGARITA Omit the sugar. Add 1 ounce blackberry liqueur before shaking. BLUE MARGARITA Omit the triple sec.
