So in my last post I mentioned how the margarita jello shooters made me want an actual margarita I could sip on. I found a great recipe and wanted to record it here.
The main component is homemade sour mix. To make, dissolve 1/4 cup sugar in 1 cup hot water. Then add 3 tablespoons lemon juice and 3 tablespoons lime juice. Chill.
To make the margarita, mix the components using this ratio:
1 part triple sec
2 parts tequila
4 parts sour mix
I used a shaker and served on the rocks.

About Me
- My name is Heather.
- I love to cook and bake. My style in the kitchen is definitely "recipe follower." As much as I would love to be able to just whip up a new concoction from ingredients on hand, or taste a simmering sauce and think "hmm, needs more oregano," that's just not me. Therefore I appreciate a good recipe and love finding them online and in cookbooks. I don't always cook the most health-conscious recipes, but I believe in eating whatever you want as long as it is in moderation. I also have a picky husband whose chances for disliking a recipe seem to be directly proportional to the number of ingredients used, so I won't be cooking any elaborate gourmet meals.

Vicky, I saw that too (I follow her on my blogger RSS feed). I love that blog! I find it interesting that her recipe starts with unflavored gelatin... seems easier to just use lime flavored since you add lime juice anyway! But maybe her version tastes more authentic.
Good point on the unflavored gelatin! Seems like we could have fun experimenting!
