Margarita

NY Times recipe from Rosie Schaap who states, “Tequila, lime, a touch of orange in the form of triple sec and salt (if that’s your thing) is all you need to make a great margarita. No one really knows the true history of the cocktail — there are as many origin stories as there are variations of the beloved drink — but it’s a practically perfect drink nonetheless.”
