Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz silver tequila
  • 1 oz Cointreau
  • 1/2 oz Presidente brandy
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz agave syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups ice
  • Coarse salt, for the rim
  • 1 lime wedge

Method
 

  1. Pour coarse salt onto a flat plate. Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks glass, then press the wet rim into the salt. Chill the glass in the freezer for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the ice, tequila, Cointreau, Presidente brandy, lime juice, and agave syrup to a blender. Blend on high for 30 to 40 seconds until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the blended margarita into the chilled salt-rimmed glass, notch the lime wedge, and place it on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is sized for one drink, but it scales up cleanly. If you are making a batch for a group, blend in 2-serving rounds rather than one large batch, since overfilling the blender gives you an uneven, icy texture. Freshly squeezed lime juice is worth the extra minute here.
