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.

Provided by TishT

Categories     Beverages

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup tequila
3/4 cup orange liqueur, such as triple sec
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
ice cube

Steps:

  • Combine first 4 ingredients in a 4-cup measuring cup.
  • FOR BLENDED MARGARITAS: Fill blender halfway with ice cubes.
  • Add half of margarita mixture.
  • Blend until mixture is thick and icy.
  • Divide between two glasses.
  • Repeat with more ice cubes and remaining margarita mixture.
  • FOR MARGARITAS ON THE ROCKS: Fill four glasses with ice cubes.
  • Divide margarita mixture among glasses and serve.
  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Margarita mixture can be made up to 8 hours ahead and prior to being blended with ice.
  • Cover and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your margarita will taste. This is especially true for the lime juice.
  • Use good quality tequila: Don't skimp on the tequila. A good quality tequila will make a big difference in the taste of your margarita.
  • Use the right proportions: The key to a good margarita is getting the proportions right. Too much lime juice or tequila can make the drink too sour or strong.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making your margarita will help the drink stay cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish with lime: A lime wedge is the classic garnish for a margarita. It adds a pop of color and flavor to the drink.
  • Serve immediately: Margaritas are best served immediately after they are made. The ice will melt and the drink will become diluted if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a margarita that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious cocktail, give one of these recipes a try. Cheers!
