Classic Margarita Cocktail Recipe

Tequila Orange Liqueur Lime: The perfect margarita is all about fresh crisp flavors. While this cocktail has been abused by low-quality sour mixes for years one sip of this classic version will tell you it’s a classic for a reason. And honestly it’s so easy to make with just three ingredients (plus salt) that there’s absolutely no reason to ever reach for a bottled mix. This recipe which we created by testing the most popular ratios is the one we reach for.

As always with such simple preparations the quality of the ingredients is important. The lime juice should be fresh; the tequila need not be top-shelf but should be of good quality so that it is smooth and not sharp; and the triple sec should be balanced and smooth – Cointreau is the traditional choice and a good one.
