Margarita, Best Fresh

Ingredients: 4 lime zest 1/2 lime juice 4 Teaspoon(s) lemon zest 1/8 Quart(s) lemon juice 1/4 sugar, fine 1 Ounce(s) salt 2 ice, crushed 1 100% agave tequila 1 triple sec |
Directions: The Best Fresh Margaritas
7/2000
The longer the zest and juice mixture is allowed to steep, the more
developed the citrus flavors in the finished margaritas. We recommend
steeping for the full 24 hours, although the margaritas will still be great
if the mixture is steeped only for the minimum 4 hours. If you're in a rush
and need to serve margaritas immediately, omit the zest and skip the
steeping process altogether.
1. Combine lime zest and juice, lemon zest and juice, sugar, and salt in
large liquid measuring cup; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until
flavors meld, 4 to 24 hours.
2. Divide 1 cup crushed ice between 4 or 6 margarita or double old-fashioned
glasses. Strain juice mixture into 1-quart pitcher or cocktail shaker. Add
tequila, Triple Sec, and remaining crushed ice; stir or shake until
thoroughly combined and chilled, 20 to 60 seconds. Strain into ice-filled
glasses; serve immediately.
