There aren’t many summertime pleasures as lovely as a truly fresh margarita. This recipe is equal parts tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice; it’s the fresh juice that sets this far apart from other ‘ritas out there. Be wary of the tequila, though – it will sneak up on you.

1:1:1 Margaritas

Ingredients:

• 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 part tequila
• 1 part triple sec

Pour all ingredients over ice and shake well. Pour into a salt-rimmed glass to serve.

Serves one to 1,000, depending on quantities.
