Three Classic AmiGos!
House, Gold & Strawberry
Margarita Cocktails…
All just $8.50 this week.
To make them yourself, you’ll need:
TEQUILA. GRAND MARNIER
(or Cointreau or Triple Sec)
FRESH LIME JUICE / SIMPLE SYRUP* / ICE
A word to the wise here, when buying Tequila, make sure it’s 100% Agave. If it doesn’t say so on the label, then it aint! What’s the difference? Well to be called Tequila, the spirit only has to contain 51% Tequila, and the rest can be made up with any grain alcohol… did someone say hangover?!! 100% Blue Agave Tequilas are made with only highest quality ingredients and manufacturing processes, and strictly controlled.
We use El Jimador ‘Reposado’ (rested) for our standard mixes, Cuervo 1800 for our ‘Classic’.. & some very fine Aged examples for our sippers.
Per Glass: 30 mls. Tequila.
15 mls. Grand Marnier.
30 mls. Syrup*.
30 mls. Lime Juice.
(These last two can be adjusted depending on how sweet/tart you like your Margaritas. We add a few secret ingredients to ours as well ;~))
Handful of ice Cubes.
Everything into the Blender if you want it ‘Frozen’, or into a shaker for the purer ‘Margarita on the Rocks’. Pour into a chilled, salt rimmed glass and garnish with a slice of lime. Kick back and relax!
(*Syrup… boil 1 litre of water with 2 cups white sugar until reduced by 1/2. Cool Cover & Chill. Optionally add a sliced orange and 1/2 stick of cinnamon to syrup before cooking)
