Ingredients
- 60ml of tequila
- 30ml of lime juice (we recommend freshly squeezed lime juice)
- 30ml of orange liqueur e.g., Cointreau
- Sweetener to taste (optional), e.g., agave, simple sugar syrup
- Salt (Optional), e.g., coarse Kosher salt or margarita salt
- Lime wedges
- Ice cubes
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker or mason jar
- Glass
Directions
- Run a slice of lime around the glass rim.
- Dip the glass rim in the salt of your choice and set it aside.
- Combine the set amount of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur into your shaker with a few ice cubes.
- Shake well, for about 10 seconds.
- Taste and add sweetener, if desired. Add one teaspoon at a time until the desired level of sweetness.
- Strain the margarita mix into your prepared glass and garnish it with a slice of lime. You can choose to serve your margarita with or without ice. To serve it with ice, remember to use new ice instead of the ones in the shaker. We also recommend one large ice cube to prevent it from melting too quickly.
Shake it up
With this classic margarita recipe, you can shake it up and make endless variations! For instance, you can replace the lime with lemon or add strawberry puree to make a Strawberry margarita. Get creative, go crazy, and maybe it’s time for a margarita party.
