HINTS & TIPS
The perfect Margarita

It’s the ultimate in Mexican feel-good drinks – but how exactly do you make the ideal Margarita?

If it's the authentic taste of Mexico you're after, we'd recommend you start by rimming a proper Margarita glass with sea salt and filling with ice. Then combine 1 oz. of Tequila, 1 oz. Cointreau and 1 oz. Rose's Lime Juice in a shaker half-filled with ice - and shake vigorously.  Then strain your Margarita glass, garnish with lime, and drink a toast to Mexican food lovers everywhere.

Of course there are many variations of Margaritas around the world: some people choose to use fresh lime or lemon juice instead of bottled.  When making them with fresh juices, many prefer lemons because they give a good flavour that is more consistent throughout the season.  When using fresh juices you may need to add some sugar to sweeten it up a bit.

The best bit, of course, is experimenting - but remember to experiment, and drink, in moderation.
