Ingredients:





     2    Parts tequila


     1    Part cointreau


     1    Part Rose's lime juice


     1 dr Blue food coloring per 2-4


          -drinks


          Lime wedges (1/4 to 1/6 an


          -average lime)


          Salt






  This is a festive (and potent) margarita recipe--my preference is to use


 the best tequila you can get (go ahead, use SIPPING tequila!) and serve on


 the rocks with salt! Oh yeah, and it looks nice in those margarita glasses


 with the blue edging!


 


  Rub glass rim with lime wedge and dip in salt.  Squeeze remaining juice


 into glass over ice cubes.  Mix liquid ingredients well in a shaker and


 pour over ice. Garnish glass with another lime wedge.


 


  Substitutions:


 


 1. If you prefer "frozen" margaritas, pour liquid ingredients in a blender,


 add enough ice to increase volume by about one third, and blend!


 


 2. 1 part Blue Curacao may be substituted for the Cointreau/food coloring


 combo but the resulting flavor is slightly sweeter
