What’s in an American Legion Margarita
Tequila
A very popular Mexican beverage, dating back to the 16th century. Made from the blue agave plant.
Cointreau
Is a brand of orange-flavored triple sec liqueur, produced in France. Also one of my favorite liqueurs.
Lemon and Lime Juice
Fresh lemons and limes are always best. try to stay away from bottled juices. That really will spoil the cocktail.
Salt
Probably not the standard Saxa salt. But it will do in a pinch.
Ice
Ice cubes into the shaker is the perfect way. But if you prefer crushed ice that is perfectly ok too.
Which glass do I use?
Well it’s a Margarita, so I’d recommend a suitable glass. Something like the lav Margarita glass, which comes in a set of 6. Perfect glasses and they are made in Europe. So they are also a little fancy.
