Citrus Splash Margarita Recipe

Can you believe it's almost time to ring in the new year???  2011 has really flown by for our family.  Once you have kids I think time goes by at least 3 times faster than before!

Here is a super yummy homemade margarita recipe that you can whip up to help ring in the new year with family and friends.  My husband and I are margarita lovers and have been perfecting this recipe made with fresh citrus juices for many years.  We think it's near perfection so it's high time to share it with you.  Whether you're hosting a large party or having a nice quiet get together with just a few friends, this cocktail will be a hit!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup silver tequila (Patron Silver is our favorite, but Jose Cuervo Silver is the more affordable option)
1/8 cup orange Cointreau liquoir
1/8 cup fresh orange juice (we like using Simply Orange - Country Stand w/ Medium Pulp)
1 Tbsp agave nectar
Rock salt for the rim

(Note: The shown ingredients are for a single serving...multiply the items based on how many people you are serving)

Directions:
Combine all liquid ingredients in a shaker and mix well.  Coat the rim of your glass with rock salt, then pour margarita over ice.  Serve and enjoy!

Please let us know what you think of the recipe.  We hope you have a safe and happy New Year's Eve!!!
