Drink of the Summer

This summer, we got the party going with margarita cocktails. They're a perfect combination with guacamole as we enjoyed our friends on warm afternoons on the deck.

For a pitcher of tasty (but potent—careful!) margaritas, here's my recipe:

1 cup Tequilla

1/2 cup Cointreau

1 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup agave

Ice

Salt (optional)

Add all ingredients to a pitcher with some ice, and stir well. If you like, salt the rim of your glasses. Fill glasses with ice and serve. Makes 6 servings.
