Margarita
A Margarita is a classic Mexican cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur. It's typically served in a glass with a salted rim and can be enjoyed on the rocks, blended, or straight.
Ingredients
- Ice
- 2 ounces Silver tequila (such as Patrón, Jose Cuervo, or 1800)
- 1 ounce Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 ounce Orange-flavored liqueur (such as Grand Marnier, Gran Gala, Cointreau, or Triple Sec)
- Simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Lime slice , for garnish
Instructions
- Place granulated sugar or kosher salt on a small plate. Rub the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge, then dip it into the sugar or salt, if desired. Add ice to the glass if using.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, and orange-flavored liqueur. Shake well.
- Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a lime slice.
Notes
Storage: I don’t recommend storing Margaritas—this cocktail is best served right away for the freshest flavor.
