Maximize your Margarita


The Calvin Kelly secret? Never use a store-bought mix. "That overly sweet, artificial taste can't compare to fresh lime juice," Kelly explained to Instyle

The Ideal Recipe...

1 part fresh lime juice
1/4 part triple sec or Cointreau
1 part silver tequila (our fav is Patron)
Agave nectar to taste

On the Rocks: Put ingredients and ice into a shaker. Shake well and strain into a margarita glass rimmed with salt and garneshed with a line wedge.

Frozen Treat: add ingredients and ice into a blender until well blended and no chunks of ice.



3 ways to Rev up the Flavor...




1: Add some macerated raspberries (soaked in tripple sec or Cointreau) for fun color and tasty tartness.




2: Hot-Pink prickle pears; either canned in syrup or fresh chopped-add an exotic, light sweetness.

3: Give your cocktails more kick by infusing salt with diced mild chiles and using the mixture to rim the glass.
