No Mix, No Sugar Margaritas - Make it Better # 2

Easy and fast to make (only 4 ingredients), but be careful they pack a punch.

To serve two people (makes about 5 of those little glasses in the pic) you need: 4-5 limes, tequila, and triple sec.  A little juicer is nice and a double-shot shot glass makes a perfect measuring cup; you do need a container to shake them in (red top in the pic).  Go ahead and put the glasses you will serve in (with ice) into the freezer along with the shaker 1/3 filled with ice.

Juice your limes.

In the shaker mix:  1 part - lime juice, 2 parts - tequila, 2 parts - triple sec, and 1 part - water.

Seal and shake hard until it turns white and foamy.  Cold ice works best, the wet ice out of a bag doesn't work very well.  It breaks up too easy, and waters down the flavor.

Serve it up.

You rarely have a chance to pick a mid shelf triple-sec, bottom shelf is fine.  In our opinion, the best tequila for mixing these is a mid shelf white tequila, but we were out of our favorite (usually use Toro de Lidia).  I guess you could make these out of Patron and Grand Marnier, but we put the extra money toward travel.

I found this 1/2/2/1 recipe a long time ago when working a second job throwing cases at a liquor store.  It was on the back of some bottle i cant remember, been making them once a month or so ever since; but credit where credit is due.

Hope y'all enjoy!  Be safe out there.
