Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of lime juice or orange liqueur to suit your taste preferences. Some people prefer their margaritas more tart, while others prefer them sweeter. You can also use different types of tequila such as blanco, reposado or añejo.
  • This recipe yields one classic margarita, you can multiply the ingredients to make more than one. If you prefer a frozen margarita, you can blend the ingredients with ice in a blender instead of shaking them.
