THE PERFECT MARGARITA
Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Limes that are too ripe or too green will not produce as much juice or have as much flavor.
- If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice. However, fresh limes will always produce a better-tasting margarita.
- Use a good quality tequila. A good tequila will make all the difference in the taste of your margarita.
- Don't over-shake the margarita. Over-shaking will make the margarita too watery and dilute the flavor.
- Serve the margarita immediately after making it. Margaritas are best when they are fresh.
