The Best Fresh Margaritas
Makes about 1 quart, serving 4 to 6
The longer the zest and juice mixture is allowed to steep, the more
developed the citrus flavors in teh 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.
4 tsp grated zest plus 1/2 cup juice from 2 to 3 medium limes
4 tsp grated zest plus 1/2 cup juice from 2 to 3 medium lemons
1/4 cup superfine sugar (berry sugar)
pinch salt
2 cups crushed ice
1 cup 100 per cent agave tequila, pref. resposado
1 cup Triple Sec
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 flavours 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.
These are so good, but more than two will knock you on your ass.
