Sues Italian Margaritas Food

ITALIAN MARGARITA

Steps:

• Rim the glass: On a small plate, mix together the sugar and salt. Rub a lemon wedge around the top edge of your glass to moisten it, then dip the glass into the sugar-salt mixture so that it sticks, tapping all the way around.
• For one (or two) drinks: Fill a small cocktail shaker with ice. Add the tequila, amaretto, lemon juice, and lime juice. Tightly close and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds (it's longer than you think). Strain into the rimmed glass. Enjoy immediately.
• For a pitcher: In the bottom of a pitcher, stir together the tequila, amaretto, lemon juice, and lime juice (do not add ice to the pitcher). Serve immediately or place a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the pitcher and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Shake just before serving.

SUE'S ITALIAN MARGARITAS

Steps:

• 1. HINT:#1 Do NOT use any other lime juice or soda other than listed. You will not get the awesome taste of my recipe. I tried it and it doesn't taste good. HINT:#2 The recipe above is enough for 2-3 drinks depending on the size of glass used. I usually double the recipe that way you will have more for refills.
• 2. Mix together the first 5 ingredients in a blender. (If you double the ingredients then pour out half into a pitcher or you will have a mess.)
• 3. Add a couple large handfuls or a little more of ice cubes and blend/crush.
• 4. You will have small chunks of ice which is good. (If you doubled the recipe then repeat the process.)
• 5. Place margarita salt onto a small plate and wet the rims of your glass with the margarita liquid or water.
• 6. Dip into the salt.
• 7. Pour your drink. Sit back and enjoy how easy it goes down.

OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN MARGARITA

Steps:

• Moisten the rim of a margarita glass and dip it in green sugar crystals. Or skip this step if you prefer.
• Fill the glass with ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and sweet and sour mix.
• Serve with a shot of amaretto on the side, and garnish with a lime wedge and orange wedge on the rim.
• ( I don't know if you are supposed to add the amaretto to the drink once it is served, but whenever I go to Olive Garden I mix the shot of amaretto with the margarita and I think it tastes great).
