- 1). Use fresh ingredients. The first rule of thumb to making an authentic Mexican margarita is to use all fresh ingredients--never use a pre-made mix. You will need the following: your choice of tequila; Mexican controy (cointreau or triple sec can be used in its place: fresh squeezed lime juice or bottled key lime juice also works well); crushed ice and coarse salt such as kosher salt.
- 2). Blend the ingredients. You are now ready to make your authentic Mexican margarita. First, place tequila (4 ozs.); Controy (4 ozs.); and lime juice (4 ozs.) in blender. Fill with crushed ice until almost full. Shake well or blend until very slushy.
- 3). Wet the rim of a martini or Margarita glass with water; turn glass upside down and then swirl rim of glass in small dish of salt. Pour Margarita into glass; garnish with slice of lime and enjoy. This recipe will serve approximately four people.
