SOBO MARGARITA

Serves: 4 Tofino’s SoBo — a restaurant that was named among Canada’s top 10 when it was still housed in a purple food truck — is famous for its fish tacos, its polenta fries and for chef-owner Lisa Ahier’s legendary margarita, made with fresh, fragrant key limes. Recipe from The SoBo Cookbook (Appetite by Random House). 1 cup (250 mL) key lime juice

1/2 cup (125 mL) orange juice

8 oz (250 mL) tequila

4 oz (125 mL) triple sec 1 tbsp (15 mL) agave syrup Lots of ice 4 key limes, quartered 2 tbsp (30 mL) kosher salt

1. In a blender, place lime juice, orange juice, tequila, triple sec and agave syrup. Blend on high for 20 seconds until it is a little bit frothy.

2. Take four very large glasses and run the cut side of a lime quarter around the rim of each glass. Pour the salt onto a small plate and dip the rim of each glass into the salt.

3. Fill each glass with ice, then pour in the frothy mix and squeeze the juice from the remaining limes on top.
