We're excited to get back on a routine, but man it's always so sad to see summer go. It's been such a busy summer. I feel like it just got started and now it's already over. Bummer.
Well, I need a cocktail. How about you mommas?? Did you know after an entire year of Friday Cocktail Times, I haven't made a margarita for you mommas?!! Whaaaaat??? Isn't that crazy?? I know. I love a good margarita---I mean who doesn't right? Well, I've been waiting for just the right time to whip up a margarita recipe for you mommas, so what better time than my first video edition of Friday Cocktail Time?!!

MOMMA MOJITO'S SIGNATURE MARGARITA
Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz. High Quality Silver Tequila (Patron, 1800, etc--I used 1800 in mine!)
- 1 oz. High Quality Orange Liqueur (Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Gran Gala)
- Fresh Juice of Half a Lime (not the mini Key West limes but NORMAL sized limes!!)
- Agave Nectar (1/4 oz nectar mixed with 1/4 oz water)--you don't want it too sweet!
- Kosher Salt, Margarita Salt, Sugar (whichever you prefer) for the Rim
- Lime Wedge for Garnish
Directions:
Take a lime wedge, and run it over the rim of your glass. (You can use whatever glass you prefer--martini, margarita, rocks glass, etc.) Now dip the rim of the glass in the salt and shake off the excess. Set aside. Now, fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, orange liqueur, agave nectar mixture, and lime juice to the cocktail shaker. Shake until thoroughly chilled...approximately 10-20 seconds. Strain into your glass. You can serve over ice if you prefer but it's cold and delicious just how it is. Garnish with the lime wedge. Cheers mommas!!
