Frontera Margarita

The potent tequila and lime thirst quencher known as a margarita is synonymous with good times and Mexican grilling. But, the best margarita I ever tasted was made not by a Mexican but by a gringo, Rick Bayless, owner of two popular Chicago restaurants, Frontera Grill and Topolobampo. Rick lets his tequila steep in the lime juice and lime zest for a good part of the day before mixing the drink, which creates a margarita with an uncommon depth of flavor.
