Date Night In Margarita
You don't need to go to a restaurant to enjoy the BEST margarita
Servings: 2 margaritas
Ingredients
Margarita
- ½ cup your favorite tequila
- ¼ cup simple syrup
- ¼ cup Cointreau Triple Sec also works
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon egg white
- 1 cup of ice
- Sparkling water Topo Chico is my favorite to use
Simple Syrup
- 1 cup distilled water
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
Prepare the simple syrup -
- In a glass measuring cup (I use my 2 cup Pyrex), add 1 cup of water
- Stir in 1 cup of sugar and microwave for 1 minute.
- Stir well and then microwave for another minute.
- Stir well and then microwave for 30 second more or until all sugar granules have dissolved into the water.
- Transfer into a glass jar and store in the fridge until ready to use.
Prepare the margaritas -
- In a blender cup, combine tequila, simple syrup, cointreau, lime juice, egg white, and 1 cup of ice.
- Blend baby blend for at least 30 seconds. The margarita should be slightly slushy, but not resembling a frozen margarita (this is just so that we are drinking the COLDEST possible drink without watering down)
- Pour into two cocktail glasses, top with an ounce of sparking water, and CHEERS!
- Keep the blender out, because you'll want another 😉
