Tequila Twist

Happy Cinco-de-Mayo!!

While you're at the bar, or being the bartender, try one of these shots!



----------

Tequila Twist (Makes 4-5 shooters)

Ingredients
- Ice for shaker
- 6 oz. tequila
- 1 cup (8 oz) orange juice
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- finely grated rind from 1/2 of a lime
- sugar
- strawberries or orange wedges

Directions
- Place 5-6 large shot glasses in the freezer until frosty.
- Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of each glass and dip the rim in a small plateful of sugar.
- In a shaker combine tequila, orange juice, lime juice and lime rind.
- Shake vigorously for 10-20 seconds until ingredients are incorporated.
- Let it sit for about a minute to allow the lime rind to flavor the mixture.
- Add ice to shaker, shake again to cool and then pour into each glass.
- Garnish each glass with a strawberry (optional to use an orange slice to garnish)

----------

Easiest way to do this? At our cookout this weekend I just made a water bottle full of these, and poured them into the shot glasses, and garnished with strawberries (after a while, left off the garnish). I left off the sugar, because I couldn't carry that all around at once.

- Disfruta! apes -
