Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice and shake.
  2. Pour over ice.

Notes

  • Always use smooth-tasting, high-quality tequila. A bad-tasting tequila will make a bad-tasting margarita. You want it to be smooth with a slightly sweet flavor. 
  • Go with fresh lime juice. While bottled lime juice might feel like a quick shortcut, it can really change the flavor. You’ll be able to really taste the difference between fresh and bottled. 
  • Go easy on the simple syrup. Adding too much simple syrup takes away from the classic taste of a margarita. 
  • Salt your glass! Even if you’re making it at home, don’t skip the salted rim. 
  • Be sure to always serve it cold. No one likes a warm margarita. Be sure you serve it chilled over ice or blend it if you prefer.
