Introducing Clayton’s Margarita!

Clayton is always the bartender on the weekends and when we have guests over to our house. He can make some really good cocktails, and his margarita is my personal favorite. I’ve been asking him for ages to sit down and write out an exact recipe so that I can share it with you, but that’s not easy for him. He usually just throws stuff in a mixer and tastes it until it tastes right. But, after bugging him for long enough and with Cinco De Mayo around the corner, he finally agreed to share his recipe!

Clayton’s Margarita is just a good, classic margarita on the rocks with a few little tweaks to make it special. My favorite part? That he adds egg whites to it to make it foamy. Sounds weird, I know, but it’s what makes his margaritas so good.
Give me all the foam!

Also, you can obviously use less tequila if you choose. Clayton claims, “if you are going to take the time to make a drink, you might as well make it strong.” So, yeah. There’s that... so please drink responsibly!

And for some fun twists on Clayton’s classic recipe, try Clayton’s Grapefruit Margarita and Clayton’s Holiday Margarita — with the addition of rosemary and a little pomegranate juice, you have a perfectly festive cocktail ready for the holiday
season.
