<em>Tart Lime Margaritas Recipe<em>

If you’re not into margaritas made with pre-made “margarita mix–just add tequila!” then this is the recipe for you. I’ve never been into any recipe for margaritas that contain the word “mixer” or  even “simple syrup” because I like my margaritas to be tart, limey, and traditionally made with tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. And that’s it!  I totally understand that this recipe will not be for everyone, but those who like it puckery tart, this one’s for you!

Ingredients for 2 margaritas:

Limes, fresh squeezed, enough juice to make 3/4 cup
4.5 oz silver tequila
1.5 oz triple sec
agave nectar, to taste
coarse salt

Pour salt into a saucer, and rub cut lime around the rims of two glasses. Place upside down in the salt to stick. Combine tequila, lime juice, and triple sec with ice cubes into a shaker and shake vigorously. Pour into the two glasses (over ice if desired) and stir in agave nectar to taste.

Enjoy!!

One thing you’ll always see on the table at a NC barbecue spot is a bottle of @texaspetesauces. If you don’t know, this is not a product from Texas but a North Carolina product. My whole life, I have never really seen anybody put anything on their bbq other than Texas Pete. 

Fun fact about me: in the 4th grade in Kernersville NC we had a guy from the Texas Pete family come to speak to my 4th grade class. This would have been 1987 or 88. Must have been great marketing, because I never forgot it. 

Lexington Barbecue is not even on IG as far as I can find but they are world famous and I’m glad I got to stop by last week. Shown here: Chopped bbq plate with red slaw, fries, and hushpuppies. #ncbbq #lexingtonbbq #texaspete #bbq #barbecue
