La Playa Azul Margarita
/From the kitchen of Brad and Dani Betts
During our winter 2020/2021 trip to Santa Barbara, we spent an evening under the Christmas lights at the Mexican restaurant La Playa Azul, drinking the best margaritas we’ve ever had. After that, we went into testing mode and developed our own margarita recipe to forever remind us of that wonderful night and to get us through the long, hard California winter.
Ingredients:
2 shots Tequila blanco, ideally made in Mexico
1 shot Grand Marnier
Juice of 1 lime
1 T. Grade A maple syrup
Directions:
Mix above in a tall glass. Split between two glasses (or enjoy a double!). Fill each glass with ice, cover and shake. If preferred, pour into a glass with a salted rim. Top with a slice of lime.
