re: I stink at making drinks apparently.....Need a good Margarita recipe.

I love this margarita.

I've made it without the egg white and simple syrup, and it's just as good. I don't need sweet, and the egg white kind of weirds me out.

Clayton's Margarita

quote:

---

INGREDIENTS
1 cup Good Tequila (Clayton likes Casamigos, you can do a little less if you don't want it as strong)
1/4 cup cointreau
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup of Simple Syrup
1 teaspoon egg whites (fresh or out of the carton is fine!)
Tajin, for serving (a sprinkle of kosher salt is okay if you don't have tajin)

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine in a blender, and let roar!!!!!!
Pour over a glass filled with ice and top with a dash of tajin or a sprinkle of kosher salt.
Enjoy!

NOTES
Clayton says he never stores his batch of margaritas in the fridge, as they tend to get tarte in the fridge. He leaves on the counter while people serve up their own glasses.
