The Perfect Margarita

Adapted from Spirits of Latin America [https://amzn.to/3QwUk0I] by Ivy Mix I've recently revised my Margarita recipe after making this one, adapted from Ivy Mix, who is the owner of Leyenda [https://www.leyendabk.com/] cocktail bar in Brooklyn, which has just the right proportions for me. You’ll find lots of opinions about what tequila to use and if you can, you’ll be happily rewarded if you use a tequila that is 100% agave – I like blanco (white.) Mexican or golden limes have more flavor, and yield more juice, than rock-hard green limes. I chill glasses in advance, which helps the salt stick to the rim. You can also just swipe the rim with a cut lime then dip it in coarse salt.

Strawberry Spritz

For this spritz, I use white vermouth to infuse the strawberries which is more aromatic, and more floral than dry vermouth. In French, it's called vermouth blanc and in Italy, it's referred to as bianc. If you buy a bottle, you can also use it to make yourself an El Presidente cocktail [https://www.davidlebovitz.com/el-presidente-cocktail-julio-cabrera-recipe-vermouth-rum-triple-sec/]. You can toggle the flavors of this lively spritz in a different direction by using a flavored tonic water, such as one aromatized with pink grapefruit, pink peppercorn, or elderflowers.
