Did you know that margarita actually means daisy in Spanish? As gardeners we love flowers and you will feel like a flower after a couple of these traditional margaritas. Just remember to make sure you get all of your gardening jobs done before hand.
Tequila: Silver or reposado is traditionally considered to be the best tequila for margaritas, but any type of tequila (or smoky mezcal or sotol) will work.
Freshly-squeezed lime juice: For the best fresh flavour, juice your own limes from your own Tahitian lime tree.
Orange liqueur: Cointreau is great, but Grand Marnier is also delicious or you can use a good-quality Triple Sec.
If you would like to sweeten your margarita, add agave syrup or simple syrup to taste.
Kosher salt: If you would like to salt the rims of your glasses, run a lime wedge around the rims and then dip them in coarse Kosher salt.
Additional lime slices/wedges:Save a few extra lime slices or wedges if you would like to add them to the glass as garnish.
2 parts premium silver tequila 1 part orange liqueur or triple sec 1 part freshly squeezed Tahitian lime juice (around 4-6 limes) Simple syrup (adjust to taste) Ice cubes
