Chet's Margarita Recipe

Chet's "Last Riders On Rt. 66" Margarita Recipe

Ingredients you will need for one drink:
1 citrus juicer to squeeze the lemons
1 bottle of your favorite “Gold” tequila (Patron, Sauza, Cuervo…etc)
1 bottle of Grand Marnier, Contreau or Triple Sac
1 juicy lemon (look for lemons that are pliable and have a shiny sheen)
1 juicy lime cut in quarters (look for limes that are pliable and shiny)
Salt - Himalayan Salt is best (optional - I’m salt restricted)

The Background and Theory behind the recipe:
There is an art to constructing a FINE margarita. Chet has done a lot
of trial and error and studied drink recipes, before arriving at what he’s
been told is, “The Best Margarita In the World”.

Like “CHET’S CHILI RECIPE”, use only the finest spirits you can
afford. Also, you will see that Chet does NOT use any mixes. ONLY
fresh lemons and limes are used. If you don’t intend to do
this pour the ingredients down the drain.

Chet recommends making “CHET’S MARGARITAS” – one at a time,
in large glasses that flair outward. It is imperative that you DO NOT
stir or shake the drink. You are attempting to LAYER the different
elements of this cocktail on top of each other with a “SWIRL” of
ingredients running through the center. Be patient, practice, it will pay off.

The Recipe:
Step #1…..Take a glass and fill it with ice. Gently add INGREDIENTS
pouring them slowly against the inside of the glass, in this order…
Step #2…..3 ounces of tequila
Step #3…..1 ½ ounce Grand Marnier (or equivalent)
Step #4….The juice of one whole juicy lemon and the pulp (sans the seeds).
Step #5….Next, take a spoon and plunge it into the middle of the glass twice and remove the spoon. Remember, you want to try and keep the
various ingredients in different levels.
Step #5….Top the drink with two tablespoons of water. (VERY IMPORTANT)
Step #6….Take a quarter lime and squeeze it thoroughly on top of the margarita.Wipe the rim of the glass with the lime and drop it in the middle of the drink.
Step #7 ....Finally, toast to Chet’s good health, your good health, your friend’s good health and everyone’s good fortune.
