I love margaritas. Who doesn’t? When they’re made right, they are fresh, light, and perfect for patio weather. A margarita is a simple drink that can stand on its own. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, here is my fool proof margarita recipe.
To make this margarita recipe, you will need 2 oz. of tequila (any brand works, but I like Casamigos), 1 oz. of Triple Sec, 1 oz of lime juice, and a fresh lime cut into wedges. My advice when making margaritas is to use Triple Sec and not a margarita mix. Your margarita will taste so much better without the pre-made flavors.
With a wedge of the sliced lime, wet the rim of your glass. You can use a margarita glass or a regular glass, it’s what is inside the glass that matters! Pour salt (or sugar) on plate and work the rim into the mix until it becomes coated.
Take all the ingredients and combine in a shaker. You don’t need to over shake, but shake enough to feel the ingredients combine. Strain and add to your glass with some ice.
Simple. Easy. Refreshing. Enjoy with a side of chips and guac for a perfect happy hour snack!
