So it's 93 degrees here in the South and about 137% humidity. UGH. So it begins, the summer season in the south can be brutal. What better way to deal with a brutal summer than a nice cold homemade margarita! First off, none of that bottled neon yellow margarita mix...gross.
I start by making a simple syrup:
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
Bring to just boiling letting the sugar melt.
You need a bunch of limes...like, 10-12.
I'm aiming for 1 cup of fresh lime juice, so I got to squeezing. Looks about right!
Mix the lime juice with the cooled simple syrup and voila! Margarita mix that tastes awesome. There should be no excuse for that bottled yuck stuff.
I use about a shot and a half of tequila, half a shot of triple sec and about half a cup of mix. Yum!!
Also, since I was drinking tequila, I figured some good greasy dinner was in order. I threw some bacon on the rec tec, cut some maters, washed the lettuce, sliced some french bread and got the Duke's mayo out. As far as I am concerned, if you are not hovering over the sink with bacon and tomato juice streaming down your arms, you are not eating a BLT the right way.
