Margaritas
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 1/2 cup Triple Sec or orange liqueur
- 1 cup tequila, silver or clear (see Notes)
- 1 teaspoon fresh egg white-preferably pasteurized (optional)
- Salt or sugar, for edging the glass
- Place the lime juice, Triple Sec, and tequila in a blender with a few ice cubes.
- Add the egg white, if using, and process until well mixed and frothy.
- Pour into a chilled glass edged with salt or sugar (see Notes) and containing 4 or 5 ice cubes.
- FRUIT VARIATIONS: For other fruit flavors, cut fruit such as watermelon, strawberries, or pineapple into chunks and place in a liquid measuring cup, not exceeding 1/2 cup.
- Pour lime juice over the fruit to the 1/2-cup measure.
- The juice will fill in the nooks and crannies and always seems to be just the right blend of lime to fruit.
- Frozen fruits can be used.
