Cilantro Lime Margarita

Yes.  It is Sunday morning, and I am posting a Margarita recipe.  Don't judge.

I just made this up, based on a cocktail I had recently in NYC.  It's not too sweet, and because of that, it is not too high in calories.

Start with about ¼ cup of sugar and either 4 or 5 packets of True Lime, or the juice of one lime.  Combine with a cup of water and whip it up in a blender or food pro.  This is your simple syrup.


Next, combine a handful of cilantro, minus the stems with about a cup or so of water and blend.


Coat the rim of a low ball glass with the simple syrup with your finger, then dip in True Lime.  Add a bunch of ice, a shot of Don Julio tequila, a splash of Triple Sec a wee bit of the simple syrup and fill the rest with the cilantro mixture.  Sweeten with more syrup to taste, but NOT TOO MUCH.  Cheers!
