No mixers. No fillers. Just 3 ingredients.


Ingredients

2 oz. Blanco Tequila (I didn't have Blanco on hand so I used Herradura Antiguo Reposado)

1 oz. Cointreau

1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice

(Optional: a splash of simple syrup if the limes are too tart)

Ice



Preparation

Step 1
Combine Tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice in a shaker and add ice.

Step 2
Shake and strain into a glass. You can put coarse salt on the rim if you like, but IMO it's not necessary.

Step 3
Garnish with a lime wheel.

Fresh squeezed lime is the key and it is glorious. Very rarely will you get fresh squeezed at all bars/restaurants , even the higher end ones.

I add a drop of agave nectar for sweetness.
My portions may be a little different, but that basically my recipe. There’s no reason to buy crappy mixes

Love it. Love the simplicity. If I’m feeling extra a shot of grand marnier but not every time certainly.

Same goes for a daiquiri. I don’t know why people reach for pre-made mixes loaded with sugar and shitty ingredients.

Try using juice of 1 lime and juice of half a lemon.

And as stated, about 1/2 or 3/4 oz of agave nectar
