WHO: thirschfeld is FOOD52er whose photos, recipes, and writing impressed us so much, we gave him his own column. WHAT: The perfect margarita, in our books. HOW: Just juice, mix, and gulp. But watch yourself. WHY WE LOVE IT: thirschfeld uses a bit less tequila and more Cointreau than the standard margarita formula, which made us think the drink might be sweet, but it's not -- it's smooth, tart, and drinkable as all get out.

Directions

  • Step 1

    So if you have 1 oz. lemon, 1oz. lime, you have 2 oz. Cointreau and 2 oz tequila. Mix all of the above, stir and serve over crushed ice.

  • Step 2

    Crushed ice is important, trust me.

  • Step 3

    Make sure you don't have to go to work tomorrow and enjoy.
