Recipe for the Perfect Margarita

Living in the southwest, we get an opportunity to try many different kinds of margaritas. This recipe is so refreshing and light and delicious. The proportions might look unusual for a margarita, but it really has a perfect balance. The key is probably the agave nectar, which acts as a binder and gives it a note of natural sweetness.

I think you'll really love it!

Makes 2.

Fill a shaker 3/4 with big ice cubes and add the following:

5 oz reposado (barrel aged to 11 months) tequila
2 oz Patron Citronge
1 oz agave nectar (use the Milagro brand from the liquor section; the nectar sold with honey will be musky and not mix as well. If you can't find Milagro, use the lightest nectar you can find)
1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1 oz seltzer water

Shake for 22-25 seconds, which should be about when it's too cold to hold the shaker anymore if you have enough ice in it.

Pour into highball glasses filled with ice. No salt.
