Classic 1-1-1 Margarita

 

Neither a smoothy nor a sorbet.

 

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine:

1 jigger of gold tequila

1 jigger of orange liqueur

1 jigger of fresh key limes, if you use the more tart Persian limes, add a pinch of sugar.

 

Shake until chilled and strain into a salt-rimmed martini glass.  Serve immediately.
