It’s Monday and during lockdown it means it’s time for some Monday Margaritas. It’s also the week of first of May or Vappu as we call it in Finland so I wanted to share this recipe with you too. Vappu is not cancelled, it just can’t be celebrated as we are used to but nothing is keeping us from making some Vappu drinks at home. We have been making quite a lot these lately because they are just so good. I was pretty obsessed all spring about the perfect Margarita that I had in a restaurant in New York in January. After some research, I think I’m pretty close to that one with this recipe.
Everything starts by making your own sweet and sour mix in advance, which doesn’t take long and keeps in the fridge for days. The recipe is for a pitcher, which makes about 4-5 glasses depending on the size of your glass, but we have made this in half too for just two drinks. I also recommend using quality tequila for this, and not the kind that makes you blind as my husband would say. We have used both kinds, but it really does make a difference. This time we used Patron Silver for these, which works perfectly.
Sweet and sour mix
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 6-7 limes)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
Pitcher of Margaritas
- 1 cup Tequila (100% agave)
- 1/2 cup Cointreau
- 1 cup sweet and sour mix
- sea salt & lime for rimming the glass
Simmer 2 cups of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar until it is fully dissolved. Let it come to room temperature and pour in a jar. Add the fresh lime and lemon juices to the mixture, chill in fridge.
Place salt on a small plate, rim glasses with a lime wedge upside down and dip the rim in the salt. Set aside. Combine Tequila, Cointreau and the sweet and sour mixture in a pitcher. Add ice to your glasses, we mixed some crushed ice with regular ones to make it a bit more frozen margarita type. Pour the Margarita to your glass over ice and decorate with lime wedges, enjoy!
