You can make Paul McCartney's favorite margarita in the comfort of your own home.
1 1/2 limes, 1 juiced and 1/2 for the glass rims
fine sea salt
3 shots of good Blanco Tequila, such as Patron Silver
1 shot Cointreau
1 shot Triple Sec
2 clementines, juiced
ice cubes
Salt the rims of 2 margarita glasses: use 1/2 lime to swipe around the rim of both glasses. Pour out a generous 6 inch line of salt; roll the outside rim of both glasses along the salt line to lightly salt the outside rim of the glass. Don't salt the inside, or your cocktail will be too salty.
Pour the Tequila, Cointreau, Triple Sec, clementine and lime juices into a cocktail shaker; fill with ice. Shake for 20 seconds.
Strain into the prepared glasses.
Serve.
Makes 2 cocktails.
