Ingredients
  

MINT SIMPLE SYRUP
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • ½ cup mint leaves
MARGARITA
  • 1 cup tequilla blanco ( I used Espolon)
  • ½ cup Cointreau (or triple sec)
  • ½ cup mint simple syrup from above
  • juice from 4 limes (about ½ cup)
  • 1 lime for garnish
  • a couple of mint sprigs for garnish

Method
 

MINT SIMPLE SYRUP
  1. 1. In a small saucepan add the water and sugar. Heat on medium until it comes to a boil and the sugar has melted. Reduce the heat to low and add the mint. Steep the mint for 30 minutes.
    2. Pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the mint leaves into a container. Set in the fridge to cool.
MAKING THE MARGARITAS
  1. 1. In a pitcher, add ice, the tequilla, cointreau, simple syrup and lime juice. Stir until well combined, about 1 minute. Serve in a salted glass over ice. Garnish with lime and more sprigs of mint.
