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.

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!

Steps:
- In a big mixing bowl, add all the crust ingredients; mix on low speed until crumbly.
- Flour your hands/fingers; press mixture firmly in the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a light golden brown.
- In another bowl, beat eggs.
- Add sugar, flour, and baking powder; stir to blend.
- Add in margarita mix and lime peel; stir to blend.
- Take crust out of the oven.
- Pour filling over the warm crust; place back in the oven.
- Bake 18-22 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool until completely cooled.
- Right before serving, sift powdered sugar over the top; cut into bars.
Tips:
- Choose the right tequila. A good margarita starts with a good tequila, so don't skimp on the quality. Look for a 100% agave tequila that has been aged for at least two years.
- Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice is essential for a margarita, as it provides the drink with its signature tartness. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it will not have the same flavor.
- Use the right ratio of ingredients. The classic margarita ratio is 2 parts tequila, 1 part Cointreau, and 1 part lime juice. However, you can adjust this ratio to suit your own taste.
- Shake the margarita well. Shaking the margarita is essential for creating a smooth and well-blended drink. Shake the margarita for at least 10 seconds, or until it is well chilled.
- Serve the margarita with a salt rim. A salt rim is the traditional way to serve a margarita, and it adds a nice touch of flavor. To make a salt rim, simply rub a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and then dip the rim in salt.
- Garnish the margarita with a lime wedge. A lime wedge is the perfect garnish for a margarita, as it adds a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
The margarita is a classic cocktail that is enjoyed by people all over the world. With its simple ingredients and refreshing taste, it's no wonder that the margarita is one of the most popular cocktails of all time. Whether you like your margarita classic or you prefer to experiment with different flavors, there's a margarita out there for everyone.
