Episode 18 - How to Adult: A Beginner's Primer

The one where we tell you about the things that surprised …and continue to surprise us, about Adulting.

Seriously.  We were not prepared.  This is hard.

What makes hard things easier?  Tequila, baby!  So this week, we're downing margaritas while we ponder what we've gotten right, what we've gotten wrong, and what's just plain ol' slapstick gold.

The Classic Margarita

Are you kidding me? We haven’t had Margaritas yet? Not even on Cinco de Mayo? ¿Que diablos? Eso es ridículo. And that pretty much exhausts my Spanish. However Margarita I speak fluently. We did a classic Margarita from scratch. None of those ‘mix’ things here. Though the agave tequila we used was different, we both ended up with lovely drinks. Yum!

Ingredients-

• 2 oz Tequila

• 1 oz Cointreau

• 1 oz lime juice

• 1/2 oz simple syrup

• Salt for the rim

• Lime for garnish

Instructions-

Combine all ingredients in a shaker and shake vigorously. Rub cut lime around the rim of the glass you intend to use. Dip rim in salt. Strain drink into glass. Garnish with lime wheel or wedge on edge of rim and serve!
