Sweet Broiled Lemon Margarita1998
This simple twist on a classic margarita is the brainchild
of my first foray into observing the cooking techniques of
chefs. Broiling the lemon relieves the fruit of its acid bite
by caramelizing the fructose and killing its vitamin C.
The flavor of the lemon after juicing takes on a delicious,
deep, sultry caramel note that makes it a perfect match for
the caramel and toffee notes found in a reposado tequila.
I like to use a dry triple sec, such as Merlet, to balance
the sweetness of the broiled lemon with a dry finish. This
version of the margarita has an incredibly smooth and soft
finish, making it hard to have only one!
1. Combine all the ingredients except the sugar in a cocktail
tin and shake over cubed ice.
2. Fine strain and pour into a chilled coupette with a half
sugar rim.
