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:
- On a dish or cutting board, pour and flatten a pile of coarse salt like sea salt or Kosher salt. Don't use table salt, as it will clump up and make your drink very salty.
- Cut a lime in half. Reserve one half for the margarita and cut the remaining half into two wedges. Run a lime wedge along the entire rim of the glass. Be sure it's wet enough so the salt can stick.
- Invert your glass and press into the salt so it sticks to the rim.
- Place the salted glass upright into the refrigerator to chill as you mix up your margarita.
- Pour the sugar into a deep sauce pan.
- Pour the water over the sugar.
- Place sugar mixture on the stove and set the heat to medium-high.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture constantly so the sugar dissolves faster.
- Once the sugar completely dissolves, remove from the heat.
- Pour the syrup into a container. You should end up with about one cup of natural syrup. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the syrup for the margarita. Cover and store the rest for another use. The syrup will keep for up to three days.
- Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. If you have big pieces, you can bang them on a hard surface to break them up a bit, but you do want to keep the pieces on the larger side. Ice that's too small will quickly melt and water down your drink.
- Squeeze the juice from 1 1/2 limes into a small cup or bowl and remove any seeds. Pour the fresh lime juice into the shaker.
- Next add the sweetener, tequila and triple sec.
- Place the top back on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to combine.
- Remove the chilled cocktail glass from the refrigerator.
- Carefully pour the contents of the shaker into the glass, including the ice.
- Garnish with a slice of lime.
MEXICAN TRIFLE
I found this recipe in a back issue of Woman's Day and served it when I had friends over for a fajita dinner. It's an easy dessert to make and if I have to make a large quantity for a pot luck, I substitute vanilla instant pudding and just add the flavourings.
