Fresh Lime Margaritas Recipe 55

MARGARITAS WITH FRESHLY SQUEEZED LIME JUICE

Steps:

• Make the simple syrup by combining the sugar and water together in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set the mixture aside until it cools.
• Cut limes into quarters and use a lime press (or any other kitchen gadget) to squeeze the juice out of the limes. Place the juice aside. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice and simple syrup. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled (about 30 seconds).
• Coat the rim of a Margarita glass with some lime juice and then fill a plate with some coarse salt. Flip the Margarita glass upside down and move in a circular motion, so the rim is coated with salt. Fill the Margarita glass with your cocktail and use a lime for garnish. Sit back, relax and enjoy.
