Love the Gin-Gin Mule...may have to get some mint this weekend

Ginger Old Fashioned:

2 oz Wild Turkey 101
1 teaspoon ginger simple syrup
2 dashes orange bitters
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Last night pre-dinner

Watermelon puree
simple syrup
lime
mint
Costco Vodka

Last night had a White Lady:

2 oz gin
0.5 oz lemon juice
0.5 oz Cointreau

Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.

First pitcher of margaritas are marinating in the freezer. I have found that at least 24 hours of rest makes a pitcher of margaritas much better. Kind of like stew. But more fun.

What's your recipe PH? I don't think my simple recipe would do well overnight in the fridge.

Not complicated:

Ice, Tequila, Cointreau, Lime Juice - Mix. Add salt. Done.

Some people use simple syrup as well.

Traditional Margarita:

2 oz Tequila (Plata or Reposado) - I use Olmeca Altos
1 oz lime juice
1 oz Cointreau

Shake and strain into a Margarita glass.

From this recipe you can make different varieties...such as muddling a slice of jalapeno or adding passionfruit juice, etc.

I'm having a gin (Botanist) and tonic right now.

That's my basic recipe as well. If I'm doing brunch margs I float a little OJ as well. For a twist I muddle cucumber, lime and cilantro and shake with tequila and a little agave.

I was curious about the marinating part of PH's margarita recipe. In my experience fresh lime juice losses something in the fridge overnight so I was wondering if he was doing something different.
