The margarita is the classic addition to a Mexican meal and I'd argue, the perfect addition to a summer day in the sun. The original margarita served on the rocks is my favorite go to but, this mandarin twist is refreshing with a citrus blend of lime and orange.
Ingredients:
1 medium lime, sliced salt
1/3 cup lime juice
3/4 cup mandarin juice
¼ cup mandarin liqueur
¼ cup Cointreau
½ cup tequila
crushed ice
1 medium mandarin, segmented
Rub rim of serving glasses with a slice of lime, dip glasses into salt to coat rim. Combine juices, liqueurs and tequila in shaker filled with ice, shake; strain into glasses. Garnish with remaining lime slices and mandarin segments.
The recipe serves about two to four people and always tastes best when made just before serving.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Maureen Post grew up in Wauwatosa. A lover of international and urban culture, Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.
After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.
Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.
