In honor of Spring...MARGARITAS!

Mik and I have discovered the perfect marg. recipe and we had to share. This is soo much better then any mix you can make. Now that the weather is warmer, sitting out on the porch with one of these is just heaven!

3 limes, the juicier the better
1:1 simple syrup (recipe below)
100% agave tequila, golden
Triple Sec
3 ice cubes/drink

To serve 2, here's all you'll need to do:

Pre-chill 2 high ball classes. (I stuck ours in the freezer for 5-10 mins.) Juice your limes and put the rinds in your glasses. Add ice, and then split your lime juice between your glasses. Next, add one shot of the Tequila, 1/4 shot glass of triple sec, and simple syrup to taste (I added about 1/2 shot glass). Then stir and enjoy! Do it this evening - you'll thank me!

Simple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Put sugar and water in a saucepan. On low, let sugar dissolve in water. Once you can't see any crystals, bring to a boil for 1 minute. Let cool to room temperature.
