While your cocktail ingredients are just chillin in the ice, salt the rim of your cutest tumbler or favorite margarita glass. I use my trusty citrus juicer to quickly juice my limes and lemons while catching the seeds. The ones that give a little when squeezed are more likely to be juicier. When you’re picking out limes or lemons at the grocery store, do the little squeeze test. To get the maximum amount of juice out of your limes, before you slice and squeeze, do one of the following: roll it firmly between your palm and a table or cutting board, or microwave it for 20 seconds or less (especially if you store your limes in the fridge).
For the times that you don’t really want to measure, this is a great guide. A fun fact that is helpful to me: most medium limes will yield approximately two tablespoons of juice which equals one ounce of liquid. With ice and booze in your glass, add your fresh squeezed lime juice. It helps fully mix ingredients like juice with the alcohol, aerating your beverage for a perfect cocktail. What this does is chill and properly mix your drink. Once all my ingredients were in my shaker, I placed another cup on top to shake it up with some ice. If you’re not in a rush, you’ll end up with a smoother, colder drink if you mix the ingredients in a large cup, cocktail shaker or cocktail mixing glass (this pretty one is my fave). I made this in a glass separate from the one I served it in. For this super simple margarita I used two shots of Casamigos Tequila, and one shot of Cointreau for a little extra kick of orange flavor and just a touch of sweetness (without being overly sugary). You’ll be better able to see just how much you’ve added. When you’re making margs straight in the glass, it’s best to add the booze first. Mine has fresh squeezed lime juice, tequila and cointreau-it’s as delicious as it is simple. There are so many opinions about what makes a skinny margarita. I love fresh flavors and cocktails that are simple and straightforward. Now that the weather is heating up, some days just call for a cold skinny margarita for one. Just in time for summer! What Makes a Margarita Skinny? I’m happy to report, my margarita game is finally up to snuff. Until now! In fact, Shelter at Home has completely upped my cocktail game, and I’m taking it as my personal mission to perfect as many drinks as I can. Embarrassingly, I had never really made a proper one for myself. My favorite warm-weather drink is hands-down a skinny margarita (cold weather? It has to my Spiked Hot Chocolate Board).
