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.

PICKLE MARGARITA
Calling all pickle lovers, this one's for you! It's the perfect margarita for a hot summer's day. The fresh dill flavor is what makes it, so I recommend using fresh, refrigerated pickles instead of the ones in the pantry aisle.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the cashews and boil for 10 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain, reserving 1 cup (240 ML) plus 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
- In a blender, combine the boiled cashews, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and reserved cooking water. Blend on high speed until completely smooth with no grittiness.
- Pour the cashew mixture into a small pot. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Once the sauce is stretching and pulls away from the sides of the pot, remove from the heat.
- Use your hands to stretch the pizza dough into a circle about 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter and ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) thick. Lay on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Spread the marinara sauce over the pizza dough in an even layer. Use an ice cream scoop to dollop the cashew mozzarella on top.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from oven and top with the basil. Cut into 8 slices and serve.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use top-quality tequila. This is the foundation of your margarita, so don't skimp on the quality of your tequila. Look for a 100% agave tequila that is at least 80 proof.
- Fresh lime juice is essential. Bottled lime juice just doesn't have the same flavor as fresh lime juice. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
- Use a good quality orange liqueur. Cointreau is a classic choice, but there are many other good brands available. Look for an orange liqueur that is not too sweet and has a good flavor.
- Don't over-sweeten your margarita. A margarita should be tart and refreshing, not overly sweet. Start with a small amount of sweetener, then add more to taste.
- Serve your margarita with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt. This is the classic way to serve a margarita, and it's the best way to enjoy its flavor.
Conclusion:
The Vega Margarita is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its tart and tangy flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy cocktail to make, give the Vega Margarita a try. You won't be disappointed!
