Ingredients




2 oz tequila, our house favorite is Casa Noble Crystal Tequila
8 oz pink lemonade
A healthy dash of Cointreau, if you have it
Ice
Limes to garnish
Kosher salt for rimming glasses

Preparation

1 The easiest method is to pour the liquids and ice into a cocktail shaker and mix vigorously. 2 If you have a blender handy, pour all the liquids in, add ice and pulse for 30 seconds. 3 For salted rims;  pour a thin layer of salt onto a flat bread and butter plate, rub lime over the edges of the glass, place the glass rim down on the salt and twist.

About

Homemade tortilla chips were fresh out of the oven, ripe avocados were begging to be used and a pitcher of pink lemonade was chilling in the fridge.  In the lingering heat, as daylight faded my mother made a declaration, she wanted a margarita.  Oh the things one must do to pay homage to a great lady!
