MARGARITA

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup and orange liqueur. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Place Lime-salt-sugar on a plate. Press the rim of a chilled rocks or wine glass into the mixture to rim the edge. Strain margarita into the glass.
• Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (Alternatively, heat in the microwave.) Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Blend together lime, salt and sugar in a small blender or mini food chopper.

CLASSIC MEXICAN MARGARITA

Steps:

• On a dish or cutting board, pour and flatten a pile of coarse salt like sea salt or Kosher salt. Don't use table salt, as it will clump up and make your drink very salty.
• Cut a lime in half. Reserve one half for the margarita and cut the remaining half into two wedges. Run a lime wedge along the entire rim of the glass. Be sure it's wet enough so the salt can stick.
• Invert your glass and press into the salt so it sticks to the rim.
• Place the salted glass upright into the refrigerator to chill as you mix up your margarita.
• Pour the sugar into a deep sauce pan.
• Pour the water over the sugar.
• Place sugar mixture on the stove and set the heat to medium-high.
• Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture constantly so the sugar dissolves faster.
• Once the sugar completely dissolves, remove from the heat.
• Pour the syrup into a container. You should end up with about one cup of natural syrup. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the syrup for the margarita. Cover and store the rest for another use. The syrup will keep for up to three days.
• Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. If you have big pieces, you can bang them on a hard surface to break them up a bit, but you do want to keep the pieces on the larger side. Ice that's too small will quickly melt and water down your drink.
• Squeeze the juice from 1 1/2 limes into a small cup or bowl and remove any seeds. Pour the fresh lime juice into the shaker.
• Next add the sweetener, tequila and triple sec.
• Place the top back on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to combine.
• Remove the chilled cocktail glass from the refrigerator.
• Carefully pour the contents of the shaker into the glass, including the ice.
• Garnish with a slice of lime.
