June Cocktail Recipe: The Perfect Margarita

I live in the southwest, where few things pair as well with the summer sun as a margarita. Today I'm sharing our recipe for a perfect margarita. And yes, they really do taste better when sipped through a straw with a cactus on it! 

Ingredients:

• 2 oz fresh lime juice
• 2 oz silver tequila
• 3/4 oz cointreau
• 1-2 tablespoons agave syrup, to taste
• lime wedge
• 1/4 cup sea salt
• crushed ice

Directions:

• Pour sea salt onto a small dish or bowl.
• Rub lime wedge around rim of glass, and dip wet rim into salt.
• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, vigorously shake lime juice, tequila, cointreau, and agave syrup.
• Pour over ice and garnish with lime wedge.
