This weekend we celebrate Derby Day on Saturday and Cinco de Mayo on Sunday! The important thing is not to celebrate both on the same night…mixing margaritas and juleps is not an option!
I like a margarita that has a few, simple ingredients…and no sour mix. This is the one that hits the spot for me. My friends affectionately call it an “Algarita.”
3 oz. Patron silver tequila
1 oz. Cointreau orange liqueur
4 oz. pineapple juice
1/2 a fresh lime, squeezed
Place ice in a cocktail shaker and add Patron, Cointreau, pineapple juice and a good squeeze of lime juice from 1/2 a lime. Stir well, then pour it into a margarita glass (salt rim optional) and garnish with a lime wedge.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR!
