2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, at room temperature

THE PERFECT MARGARITA



The Perfect Margarita image

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.

1 lime wedge
1 pinch coarse sea salt to taste
1 large ice cube
ice
2 fluid ounces white tequila
1 ½ fluid ounces triple sec

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes. The fresher the limes, the better the muffins will taste. You can also use bottled lime juice, but fresh is always best.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time. This will help the muffins rise and create a crispy crust.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Margarita muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful muffin recipe, give these margarita muffins a try!
