Norteño Margarita
Recipe provided by Quinn Stephenson
Yield: One Cocktail
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: N/A
Ease of Preparation: Easy
Ingredients:
- • 2 ounces Tequila
- • 1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
- • 1 ounce of simple syrup
- • 1/2 ounce of green chile juice (see tips)
- • Margarita salt for rim
- • Lime wedge for garnish
Directions:
Using a lime wedge, coat the outside lip of a margarita glass and salt the rim. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Place remaining ingredients in the shaker and shake vigorously for three seconds. Pour the ingredients into the salted glass and garnish with a lime wedge.
Tips:
To make the simple syrup, use the ratio of one part water to one part granulated sugar.
To prepare the green chile juice, place 1 New Mexico green chile in a blender with 1 ounce of water and blend thoroughly. Separate the puree with a fine mesh strainer and place in a squeeze bottle. If New Mexico green chiles are not available, serrano peppers may be substituted.
If i win the HGTV Dream Home i will definitly make Norteno Margarita’s for everyone who made my dream come true. We will have a party.
Fingers are crossed!! My family and I are ready to get out of the cold in Minnesota and relocate to the BEAUTIFUL DREAM HOME in lovely NEW MEXICO.
Our kids really want the Toy Story kids room and Jack and Jill Bathroom and my hubby and I are dreaming of the Gorgeous Master Suite.
Hate to say it but Jmack sounds like a disgruntled employee. I wonder if he got fired from working on the dreamhome. He's obviously unable to keep a job (perhaps a little moodiness keeps him hopping?) Wouldn't it be funny if he won? He must be entering, otherwise he wouldn't be here, right? Hey jmack, keep the faith! Even rude, obnoxious folks can win. Uh, yeah. I'm a little sarcastic but happy!
So…has anyone tried this cocktail yet? How is it?
would be a dream come true everything one could ever hope for ,and to start a new life witch is much needed i too hope for the best
You just never know who the winner might be… I'm going to be making these Monday… (Just in case!)
