Second Helpings is taking a long, much needed, weekend break.
The only sweat we want to see is on the outside of a glass. See you Tuesday.
In the meantime, enjoy a cocktail recipe for the perfect margarita from my Seattle pal Kavita Varma-White - formerly of Wilmington and Fort Lauderdale- who was once a Dewey Beach beachhouse buddy. (Ah, who can forgot those wild-and-crazy nights dancing at the Waterfront, eating curbside pizza at Grotto and jamming at the Cork's jam session?)
(One tip from K: Before you start, she says it makes a HUGE difference to have a juicer for the limes.)
THE PERFECT MARGARITA
1.5 parts tequila (2 if you want it stronger) she prefers Sauza or Patron
1 part fresh lime juice
1 part Cointreau or Triple Sec
1 packet of Splenda
Put in shaker with a bit of ice.. Shake it up. Serve either up in a martini glass, or on the rocks in a small (7 to 10 ounce) tumbler glass. If you like salt, rub the glass rim with a lime and then twist in salt. Salud!
