What We Crave

IN MY OPINION, a good margarita is the best way to start a summer weekend. This issue is strong in margaritas, just like I like mine. Look for Calico’s spicy recipe in our Ask For It on page 20 (I can’t wait to try this at home!). We also highlight margaritas in our 5 Ways column, and I can tell you, narrowing down what Jackson restaurants offer in that category was super tough. Next time you are at Snake River Grill, ask about the off-menu one they serve up, and one may be all you need... It was fun to get to know some of our local producers, one of whom started an additive-free tequila company, making my drink of choice seem, dare I say, good for you? See details about what Wild Common is all about on page 82. But speaking of margaritas, everyone has their own version and I have to admit, I am known to (maybe too regularly) make a mean one. We have plenty of options for getting one on your next night out, but if you want to make one at home on your next night in, here is my version: Allison’s margarita recipe
1.5 cups Wild Common blanco tequila 1/2 cup Cointreau 3 limes, juiced 1 lemon, juiced 1 orange, juiced Splash of soda
> Add first 5 ingredients to a pitcher and stir. This can be shaken well on ice to chill and served up (without the soda) or served over ice with a splash of soda.

Multiply ingredients depending on how many margaritas you need to make.
