The MDC loves a good cocktail, especially a good margarita! The MDC has his favorites, but he believes the rule of 3 is the key to the perfect margarita.
The MDC Margarita

Margarita
- 1/3 Cointreau
- 1/3 Tequila, your choice, but for a lighter flavor use Silver Patron; if you're after a bit more flavor MDC recommends Don Julio Repasado
- Split the last 1/3 evenly between Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice and simple syrup (see recipe below)
- Simple Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- Boil water, add sugar to dissolve. Cool. Keep refrigerated.
Instructions
- Squeeze fresh lime juice to desired quantity then combine with simple syrup
- Add to cocktail shaker
- Add same amount of Cointreau
- Add Same amount of Tequila
- Add cup ice, shake vigorously, pour over ice in glass that has 1/2 rim salt covered, present with lime slice on rim, served on linen napkin then on silver platter. A truly luxurious serving and one heck of a cocktail. A drink must always be stiff, yet well-presented.
Notes
- If you are like Mimi, who needs hers a little sweeter, the MDC includes a little more (1 Tbsp) homemade simple syrup. The MDC gives his preferences in this week’s serendipitous finds!
- Notes: Don’t use margarita mix (for amateurs only). If you simply must use a mix, only use sweet and sour mix versus the standard margarita mixer.
