2 oz.	tequila
1 oz.	Cointreau
1 oz.	lime juice (fresh squeezed)

Combine all ingredients in a shaker half-filled with ice. Stir vigorously. Pour the mixture into a cocktail glass. Do not salt the rim, do not use cheap tequila.

This is the original recipe from 1948. Margarita Sames (the drink creator) preferred white tequila; we insist on a reposado or anejo. What a classic!

Our Mission

The flyingcracker staff is dedicated to providing you with recipes for high quality libations. Our selection criteria is simple: All drinks submitted for the flyingcracker list must pass a rigorous multiple session taste test before they can be added. If we find a drink sufficiently delectable it gets added. If we yawn, or like the taste but never bother to mix it again, the drink is not added. If you have a suggestion for our drink list please email us: graham at flyingcracker dot com. Please drink responsibly.
