Being a professional caterer in a resort area definitely is a dream job! Who would not want to plan parties whether a dinner party or a wedding where the guests are perpetually happy to be there and always ready to have fun!
Even before I moved to Playa del Carmen, I enjoyed tequila for years. Now that I do live here I can honestly say I make a pretty mean margarita and so I wanted to share my tried and true recipe with you all!
– fill a martini shaker with ice
– 1 1/2 ounces of tequila for every margarita *I use the best I can buy! No Cuervo for me!!!
– 1/2 ounce triple sec or Cointreau or for an out of this world margarita use Grand Marnier
– 1/2 ounce Jarabe (simple syrup) or to taste
– 1 1/2 ounces fresh squeezed lime juice
Shake and serve on ice in a glass with the rim salted. An excellent variation to salt on rim is mixing chili powder with salt for a nice kick!
Enjoy! They taste so good you’ll be tempted to blame me for the morning after….
