Margarita Cocktail

Today we had a  'Margarita Cocktail'.  The first one I mixed used a recipe from "In the Land of Cocktails", page 34.

The recipe:

2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 lime wedges
1 1/2 oz Tequila (Cuervo Black)
3/4 ozTriple Sec (LeRoux)
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/4 oz simple syrup

Put the salt in a saucer, rub half of the rim of a Margarita or a Martini glass with 1 lime wedge.  Dip the rim into the salt.
Using a clean cloth, wipe any excess salt from inside the glass and set aside.
Shake ingredients with ice vigorously. Strain into prepared glass and garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

It was somewhat sour! Otherwise, we drank it.

The second one I mixed used Jose Cuervo mix to which I added pomegranate juice along with tequila and triple sec. It was frozen, sweeter, and more to our taste. It was better mixed with the first one (I can't wait to reproduce this one)!

Cheers.
