Oh my god, finals week is killing me. Technically, I take finals for two weeks because it would be cruel and unusual punishment to make law students take 4 hour finals every single day for one week. I come home exhausted every time I take a final and, let’s be honest, all I want is a drink. Here’s a perfect drink for Cinco de Mayo, or for any time after taking a four hour final.
Ingredients
- salt
- 2 ounces tequila
- 2 ounces triple sec
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 1 lime, juiced
- 3 sprigs cilantro
- 2 lime wedges
Directions
- Throw some salt on a plate. Dip the rim of your glass in water and dip in the salt to create a salt rim
- Slightly bruise the cilantro to bring out the flavor
- Put the tequila, triple sec, sugar and cilantro in a margarita shaker
- Add in ice, top the shaker, and shake for about a minute until sugar is dissolved
- When ready, pour into the glass, and garnish with lime wedge and more cilantro
