fresh fruit rita

This is beyond a doubt the best tasting, butt kickin margarita Ive ever came across. It uses only fresh fruit juice combined with a  syrup. Mixed only with the finest of tequila and it will certainly open the door to celebration! 

Ingredients

• Sweet and Sour mix

• 3 oranges

• 3 limes

• 3 lemons 

• 1 cup sugar 

• 2 cups water 

• A fine Tequila of your choice 

Preparation

Juice the fruit and strain out all the seeds and pulp 

Bring the water and sugar just to a boil and let cool. The sugar should be  completly dissolved in the water. Mix with juice, chill. 

I like to taste the tequila  a little so I tend to mix a little strong. But try this ratio 1 part Patron to 3 parts sweet and sour. I have the pitcher, glasses and all ingredients chilled so it doesnt get watered down with ice.  

Serve in chilled martini glasses with or without salt.
