![]() Tequila and your choice of triple sec or Cointreau round it out, but if you want a more clear lime flavor, you should know about Tommy’s margarita, which nixes the liqueur in favor of a couple spoonfuls of agave nectar. A mixture of kosher salt and Tajín on the rim makes me feel like I’m on one of those vacations we missed. If you can make it happen, fresh lime juice is my favorite part. We’ve adjusted formulas a few times over the years but it was all in service of this, our forever margarita: tart but balanced, just barely sweet. ![]() In the background of this, this provided many, many excuses to finetune our house margarita. Pretty much the only thing I craved for the first six months of “quar” was tacos, usually vegetable because everything felt so heavy, I wanted food that felt light - black bean, cauliflower, sweet potato, heaped with avocado and crunchy slaws. Is it still luck if it happens while you’re inspecting cabbages, hoping to find an apartment-sized one?

Or at least I think I am-in less than two weeks, I’ll be trading in the Patrón for a piñata for my toddler’s birthday party-so we will see how all this planning goes.This week many of us are coming up on the anniversary of all sorts of things we had little idea would define the year ahead.
