Notes
- Use homemade margarita salt or kosher salt to rim glasses for authentic flavor.
- Prefer fresh strawberries as frozen ones may produce a watery drink lacking flavor.
- Substitute mezcal for tequila to impart a smokier note.
- Honey can be replaced with simple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar based on sweetness preference.
- Any orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier, Cointreau, or Curacao can substitute triple sec.
- To prepare a frozen margarita, include ice in the blender until slushy.
- Swap tequila for rum to make a strawberry daiquiri variation.
