Summertime means Margarita's on the rocks

Well, summer has kicked into high gear around here. Generally that means wine consumption around Casa Kemmerling goes down and Margarita consumption goes up. Over the years I have tried nearly an infinate number of Margarita recipes and this is my favorite.

33% Tequila
33% Cointreau
33% Fresh Lime Juice

Rub the rim of the glass with the lime slice to make the salt stick to it. Dredge the glass in a plate of sea salt. Shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, then carefully pour into a glass with or without ice (taking care not to hit the salt).



Now all you need is a warm summer evening, a California sunset, and your honey.
