How to Make Emeril's Fresh And Fierce Margaritas
- Combine 1 cup lime juice, ½ cup lemon juice, ½ cup water, ½ cup pineapple juice, 1 cup sugar, zest of 2 limes, and zest of 1 lemon in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the zests.
- Chill margarita glasses in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
- Pour coarse salt onto a small plate.
- Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each chilled glass and dip into the salt to coat.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the cooled citrus syrup, 1 ½ cups ice, 1 cup tequila, and ½ cup triple sec.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for at least 1 minute, until well-chilled and frothy.
- Strain into the prepared salt-rimmed glasses.
- Garnish each margarita with a lime wedge and enjoy!
