MARGARITA
A HAPPY HOUR DELIGHT
The drink that's single-handedly responsible for more questionable karaoke performances than any other cocktail in history.
The Citrus Chaos:
- 2.25oz Telluride Agave (tequila's cooler cousin)
- 1/2 Orange (freshly squeezed, because we have standards)
- 1/2 Lemon (freshly squeezed, your forearms will thank you later)
- 1 Lime (freshly squeezed, this is basically a workout)
- 0.5oz Simple Syrup (to take the edge off all that citrus aggression)
The Ritual: Time to get your squeeze on—we're talking half an orange, half a lemon, and a WHOLE lime because this margarita doesn't do things halfway (except for citrus, apparently). Dump all that fresh-pressed sunshine into a shaker with your agave and simple syrup, then shake it like you're maracas in a mariachi band that's running late. Salt that rim like you're preparing for an ice storm—go thick, go bold, or go home. Strain into your prepped glass, slap a lime wedge on there for moral support, and prepare to understand why it's always five o'clock somewhere.
