Recipe Introduction


(Makes 8 Cups)


List of Ingredients




2 navel oranges
1 lemon, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 lime, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup superfine sugar
6 tablespoons Cointreau
4 tablespoons triple sec 3/4 cup good quality tequila (best to use 100% agave "reposado")
6 cups ice
Fine gray salt for the rims of the glasses


Recipe



Use a juicing machine for the oranges, lemon and lime. Whisk the juice with the sugar to dissolve then stir in the Cointreau, triple sec and tequila. In a blender, blend the juice mix with 3 cups of ice for about a minute or so then add another 3 cups of ice. Continue to blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Serve in frosted margarita glasses rimmed with salt, if desired.

Farm freshness is the key here. Look for the citrus that is most in season and adjust the recipe. Tangerine, Meyer Lemons and Key Limes all have amazing flavor if you can find them.
