I’ve had a crush on Margaritas my whole life!
Ever since my parents used to let me sneak a taste of theirs at the local watering hole (GeJo’s) when I was in high school! I thought maybe it was the forbidden fruit but 30 years later and I still LOVE Margaritas. I have gotten pickier through the years, however.. I used to drink any margarita, $1 Marg night… I’m IN! But now I prefer real ingredients in my Margs.
Clumsy Gourmet’s Clean Margarita Recipe
Directions:
- Combine tequila, lime juice, Orange Liquor of choice (Cointreau or Triple Sec), and ice in the blender.
- Blend until it is the way you like it.
- Run cut limes around the Margarita glass and dip in salt or sugar. I have two of these rimmers one with salt and one with sugar
- Pour Margaritas into the glass
- Add Essential Oils ( I didn’t want to lose any in the blender)
- Stir in with pretty straws or these stainless steel ones that I love for my smoothies too.
- DRINK UP!
If you’d like to make up the margarita mixer in advance, this is another option.
CLEAN MARGARITA MIXER
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 4 drops Young Living Orange, Lime, or Citrus Fresh Essential Oils
SIMPLE SYRUP RECIPE
You have two options
- Quick & Easy – 1:1 Sugar and Water… Shake until completely dissolved. The superfine sugar you bought to use for a rimmer works great.
- Bring the water to a boil.
- Dissolve the sugar in the boiling water, stirring constantly.
- Once the sugar is dissolved completely, remove the pan from the heat. (Note: Do not allow the syrup to boil for too long or the syrup will be too thick once it cools.)
- Allow to cool completely and thicken, then bottle and refrigerate if you aren’t using it right away.
