Many, Many Margaritas

Ever since the weather broke last week I have been cravin' margaritas. Traditional margaritas, guava and red chili margaritas, pomegranate margaritas - I can't get enough! And they are so easy to make. Just grab your favorite tequila (I'm partial to Patron), some triple sec, fresh lime, and your favorite flavor. Here are a few ones to try as you gear up for summer:

Grand Margarita
1 oz. Grand Marnier
1 1/2 oz. tequila
3/4 oz. fresh, squeezed lime juice

The St-Rita
2 parts tequila blanco
1 part St. Germain
3/4 part fresh-squeezed lime juice

Chambord Margarita
1/2 part Chambord
1 part Don Eduardo tequila
1/2 part Tuaca
3 parts sweet and sour mix

Patron Pomegranate
1 1/4 oz. Patron Silver
1/4 Patron Citronage
1 oz. fresh-squeezed pomegranate juice
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz. simple syrup

Don't forget the salt! A word from Grand Marnier:
For an authentic presentation, garnish the rim of the glass with salt. Begin by filling a wide, shallow dish with 2 to 3 mm of fine salt. Cut a lemon in half and rub the cut side around the rim of the glass. Then, holding the glass upside down, dip it delicately into the salt, so that it adheres to the rim to a thickness of 2 or 3 mm. Turn the glass upright and wait a few minutes.
