THE PERFECT MARGARITA
Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

Steps:
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup and orange liqueur. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Place Lime-salt-sugar on a plate. Press the rim of a chilled rocks or wine glass into the mixture to rim the edge. Strain margarita into the glass.
- Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (Alternatively, heat in the microwave.) Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- Blend together lime, salt and sugar in a small blender or mini food chopper.
MARGARITA BURGER RECIPE BY TASTY
We took everything you love about a margarita and turned it into a burger. The spicy black bean patty is made with cilantro, jalapeño, and fresh scallions. Paired with homemade tequila-pickled vegetables provide a tangy crunch, while creamy guacamole and queso panela help cool things off. We brush store-bought burger buns with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and toast in the oven for a finishing touch.

Steps:
- Make the tequila pickles: In a large, high-walled skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, jalapeño, onion, and garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until the vegetables start to become tender but do not change color, about 3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a 16-ounce airtight, heat-proof container.
- Return the pan to medium heat and add the tequila, white vinegar, bay leaf, black peppercorn, oregano, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by ⅓, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the ice to the container and stir until completely melted. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The pickles can be made up to 1 week ahead.
- Make the guacamole: In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, garlic, and Fresno chile. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add the avocados and salt and use a fork to mash together. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the guacamole. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the black bean burgers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Add the black beans to a large bowl and use a potato masher to break down the beans until semi-smooth, with some beans left whole for texture. Add the panko bread crumbs, cilantro, scallions, jalapeño, salt, cumin, paprika, and eggs. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the intact burger buns on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each bun with the beaten egg, then top with the sea salt. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg wash turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then place the black bean patties in the pan in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook until the patties begin to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the burgers: Open the buns and spoon guacamole onto each bottom bun, spreading to cover completely. Place 2 slices of queso panela over the guacamole and top with a burger patty, followed by tequila pickles. Place the top bun on top. Serve with classic margaritas.
- Enjoy!
MARGARITA BURGERS
Steps:
- Assembly Mix all burger ingredients in a medium bowl. Add salt to taste, there will be salt on the buns. Form four patties to fit the shape of the Ciabatta rolls. Mix the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish which can hold the four patties in one layer. Marinate at least two hours. Turn patties if not covered by the marinade. Grill or broil patties for desired doneness, 3 minutes per side for medium rare, up to six minutes per side for charcoal. While patties are cooking, cut ciabatta rolls in half lengthways, brush the tops with the melted butter and cover liberally with salt. Place under broiler for one minute to set the salt in place. Place one patty in each roll. Serve with your choice of salsa and tortilla chips, jalapenos optional.

SALTED MARGARITA BARS
This edible cocktail is an ideal party dessert, mingling all the fun of a margarita - and its salted rim - with the efficiency of a slab pie. Key lime pie's boozier, saltier cousin, it comes together quickly and maintains its consistency when frozen, making it a great make-ahead treat for a barbecue or a trip to the beach. Any tequila will work, but blanco is preferred for its milder taste. Don't make the curd more than 10 minutes in advance, as the lime juice will start to thicken it, which could affect the bake.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter (or use the wrapper from your stick of butter). Line the buttered pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides. (This will help you pull the bars out of the pan easily.)
- Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse the saltines until ground like coarse sand. (Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.) It's OK if there are a few larger pieces. Add the melted butter, sugar and salt, and pulse a few more times until all the crumbs are evenly saturated (or mix to combine in a medium bowl). Pour the mixture into the lined pan, press into an even layer and freeze for about 15 minutes.
- After the crust has chilled, bake it until fragrant and golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
- While the crust cools, make the filling: In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the yolks and sweetened condensed milk. Add the tequila-lime mixture to the yolk mixture, whisk to combine, then pour into the prepared crust. (It's OK if the crust is not yet completely cool.) You may be tempted to prepare the curd earlier, but don't do so more than 10 minutes before baking, as the lime juice will start to thicken it, which could affect the bake.
- Bake 15 to 17 minutes until the curd is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
- Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, then freeze for at least 2 hours.
- After freezing, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with flaky salt, cut into 16 bars and serve right away. Store leftovers in the freezer. Cheers!
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the burgers. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toast the buns before assembling the burgers. This will help them hold up better and add a delicious flavor.
- Be creative with your toppings. There are endless possibilities, so have fun and experiment.
- Serve the burgers immediately after they are cooked. This is when they are at their best.
Conclusion:
Margarita burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make twist on the classic burger. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual get-together. With so many different topping options, there is sure to be a margarita burger that everyone will enjoy.
So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give margarita burgers a try. You won't be disappointed.
