![]() ![]() Bunn 58000.0010 Ultra NX Black Double 3 Gallon Slushy Machine - 120V. Just keep it simple - three gallons tequila, a gallon of lime juice, and a gallon of Cointreau. Use Bunn frozen drink machines to serve delicious margaritas, granitas, slushies. For a bit more tartness, some people mix 3:2:1 or 4:2:1, but I wouldn't go above 1.5x as much lime juice as cointreau without adding a splash of a sweetener such as agave syrup. Some people like drier, some sweeter anywhere from 4:1:1 to 2:1:1 to taste. The most iconic proportions, in my mind, are 3:1:1. ![]() Not some other brand of triple sec, not Grand Marnier (although that stuff is delicious), Cointreau and Cointreau alone. ![]() My go-to is Nellie & Joe's when I don't feel like squeezing my own limes.įinally, Cointreau. Fresh-squeezed is ideal, though in this quantity that's unlikely avoid anything with too many preservatives and do not, under any circumstances, use Rose's (a lime-flavored ingredient that does not substitute, at all, for lime juice). Añejo (aged at least a year) and extrañejo (aged at least three years) should never be used for mixing - sip them neat like a fine whiskey, and don't bother buying them if you're not getting top-shelf. Blanco (white/silver, unaged) is the classic, but reposado (gold, aged three months to a year) is a good choice too. Now we need to get it back down to the right temperature. No need for the absolute highest quality (though it certainly doesn't hurt), but make damn sure it says "100% de agave" on the bottle and don't buy the cheapest one in the store that does. Wait many, many, many hours for it to get cold enough and hope the texture was right, fingers crossed. There are three ingredients, and only three aside from the salt on the glass.įirst and foremost, the tequila. I've always been a fan of the simple recipe. ![]()
