This Episode's Cast of Characters

Have you got Cointreau but you don't know what to do with it?  In this episode, the Gents will help you use it up!

First up is an old, old classic the hand shaken Margarita!

Margarita

1 1/2 ounces blanco tequila
1 1/2 ounces Cointreau
1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice

Combine all ingredients in an iced cocktail shaker and shake to chill.  Strain into a salt rimmed cocktail glass.  To salt the rim, rub the spent lime shell around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim in a saucer of salt.


If you've only ever had a slushy margarita, you MUST try this version of the drink.  Give a listen and see what the Gents thought of it.

1 1/2 ounces fresh lemon juice
