Tequila-Lime Cocktail (Rick Bayless)

• servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups Lime Zest Cooler

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup tequila

1/3 cup Triple Sec

1 cup ice cubes

1 egg white (optional)

Directions

1. Preparing the base - mix the prepared Lime Zest Cooler with the lime juice, salt, tequila, and Triple Sec, and let stand for 1/2 hour for the flavors to blend.

2. Finishing the margaritas - just before serving, pour the mixture into a blender jar and add the ice cubes and optional egg white. Blend for 30 to 45 seconds, until the ice is chopped (and the egg white is whipped to a froth). Serve immediately over cracked or crushed ice.
