#DOTW: Mid-Winter Margarita

Margaritas are my thing, that’s for sure. It’s hands down my favorite cocktail. But let’s face it, unless you’re at a Mexican spot, they’re not that popular in the colder months. It makes sense, the flavors are refreshing and thirst quenching, so it’s traditionally a summer drink. But hey, leave it to me to find a Margarita that’s apparently geared towards the winter months! And it’s a good one….

What you’ll need:

  • 2 oz Don Julio Blanco Tequila (or Blanco tequila of your choice)
  • 1 oz Triple Sec
  • 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • salt and chili powder

Combine equal part of salt and chili powder. Rim a highball glass with lime juice and dip it in the chili-salt to decorate the rim. Combine tequila, triple sec, grapefruit and lime juices in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well. Add ice to the glass, then pour the tequila mix on top. Garnish with sliced lime.

Cheers!

Hello there, fellow foodies! My name is Erica, I was born and raised in Germany, and moved to the US, New York City to be exact, in July of 1987. I have worked most of my time here in the Big Apple as a bartender, but my true love is food. I cook just about every day, I search for good food everywhere, and pretty much always find it. I don't consider myself a food critic, I don't have the culinary background for that kind of expertise. I do however know good food, good chefs and good restaurants. I report back about my culinary adventures, and I choose to leave out my unsatisfactory experiences. We have enough negativity in our daily lives, I don't want to add to that. All the recipes in my FROM MY KITCHEN and DOTW blogs are cooked and prepared by me. All pictures are taken by me. I don't always eat everything you see in my pictures, but you bet your buns, I do try everything. Last but not least, you should know that I am a huge Top Chef fan. I have never missed an episode of the Bravo TV show. I have at this point visited almost 20 restaurants run by Top Chef contestants, and I'm continuously impressed by their skill, drive and passion. So I will continue to seek them out, and I hope you join me in my journey!
