From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Delicious on the rocks, or frozen or even shaken up with fig puree, egg white and lime (the Autumnal Tradicional Sour), there is always one to suit everyone.
Use orange liqueur for a classic margarita, plus good ice, and a cocktail shaker. Salt if you like, and depending on your selection if you like it on the rocks or straight up.
Fresh lime juice - the fresher, the better (people tend to keep lime juice, but after a day the taste just isn’t the same as limes oxidises super quickly), and the kind of ice used can also affect a margarita as if it has any pores this will dilute the drink and make it tasteless, so the time of shaking matters!
35ml tequila
1/2 lime juice (about 15/20ml).
15/20ml. Orange liqueur depending how sweet you like it.
ADD all the ingredients to the shaker, then prepare the glass you are serving it in (salt &/or ice).
Then fill the shaker with ice to the top and SHAKE hard for about 7/10 seconds.
Pour into your glass.
