classic margaritas

we had big plans to go out friday night, but ultimately chose to watch the olympics with margaritas and tacos at our place instead. these margaritas are simple and fresh -- no processed sour mix needed!

classic margaritas (serves 4)

3/4 cup 100% agave silver tequila

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup triple sec*
1 tbsp raw agave nectar

ice

lime, salt for the rim

combine tequila, lime juice, triple sec, agave nectar and some ice cubes in a pitcher (we used a large glass bottle and then shook it vigorously once all ingredients were inside). rub rims of glasses with a lime wedge, dip in salt and add more ice to each glass. pour mixture into glasses and enjoy.

*we used a local, all-natural triple sec, but fresh orange juice is a good alternative.
