Mint Triple Shot Margaritas

April 6, 2020 by laurenwinegardner

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

I have to admit, I miss bartending during this pandemic. Meeting new people and having discussions with strangers who are willing to tell me crazy parts about their lives is something I love. People always trust bartenders with their secrets that they can’t tell anyone else. I miss seeing the failing tinder dates and speaking to the person who ends up staying at the bar afterwords to tell me how it went. I’ll always help perk them back up.

The recipe for this Margarita is derived from the bar I work at Town Hall Pub. I decided to add mint and to make it a little more fancy. This margarita is not messing around. If you like a sweet and weak margarita, this is not the margarita for you. It consists of 3 shots per drink, 2 shots of tequila and 1 shot of Cointreau (fancy) or triple sec (dive bar classic). You definitely will want to dance to the new Dua Lipa after one of these babes.

If you live in Chicago and you’ve been to Boystown you have probably been to Town Hall Pub. It’s a dive bar right in between Scarlet and Roscoes. There are jello, gummy bear and pudding shots as soon as you enter the door upon arrival. It’s a magical flashback to 1969 with magazine covers pasted on the bar.

The bar is closed for now but one day it will open again. Robin’s Dancing On My Own will blare out from the jukebox. Until then make this margarita at home and please support my co-workers though this tough time Go Fund Me (money is not for me) Thanks!
