1 1/2 ounce tequila
1/2 ounce Cointreau or Triple Sec
1 ounce Lime syrup
Splash of agave nectar
Shake
the tequila, Cointreau and lime together with ice. Strain and add the
agave. Serve with lime wedge. Salt on the rim is optional.
It's
the ratio for the classic margarita but Flavin has some warnings.
"The biggest mistake when making margaritas in the home is using cheap
tequila ... I love the Herradura because it has a peppery flavor." As for
the lime syrup, he makes a recipe that's one quart lime juice, one
quart water and one pound sugar. "If that's too much work, the brand Simply
Limeade is good too."
That's all Flavin could say before another regular was calling him. The bar was packed. "It always is for Brian," loyal fan and former co-worker Thelma Oliver said. "He's the best ... If that's the way he told you to make a margarita then that's the way to make it."
