Margarita recipe

Equal parts good tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup, then the juice of one lime, shake, pour into salt rimmed tumbler with ice, enjoy...

I squeeze 1 lime into a shaker. Add an ounce of Cointreau and 2 oz tequila. Stir. Pour over ice in glass with salted rim.

Really as simple as this. I do a gentle shake with ice in the shaker and then strain over a salted glass filled with ice.

I've found a good alternative to Cointreau is Patron Citronge. A good bit less expensive but makes a damn good margarita.

The Costco marg mix is pretty good, it uses 100% real sugar and lime juice from concentrate.

Same as the recipes posted above. I usually make mine with more lime.

2 parts Lime, 2 Tequila, 1 Orange Liqueur, 1 Simple Syrup/Agave. Then I usually dilute with water to taste.

I'm cheap so I use off brand orange liqueur instead of Cointreau. It's still 80 proof so you're not losing alcohol content. I can't tell the difference in a margarita. You can usually find it at Albertsons.

I go with a 3-2-1 ratio.
3 parts good tequila (lately I do Espolon, but love herradura)
2 parts fresh squeezed lime juice
1 part orange liqueur - pick your fav. I’ve been rocking with Dekuyper’s Licor 43
Combine.
Shake with ice - can then be served neat.
Or shake without ice and serve over rocks.

Fresh lime juice is key along with good tequila.

Juice 1 lime, 2 oz tequila, 1 oz good triple sec, and a squeeze of agave nectar...shake and enjoy. Discovering agave nectar has really taken my margs to the next level

Get a bottle of trea agaves mix and add tequila. Simple and the best you will make

Ingredients

-1 lime, halved
-Coarse salt
-1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 4 limes
-1 tablespoon sugar
-1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
-1/4 cup Triple Sec
-1 cup gold tequila
-Ice
-1/2 can good quality lager-style beer
-Lime wheels, for garnish

Directions

To salt the margarita glasses, rub the outside rims of 4 big glasses with a cut lime and press them lightly into a plate of kosher salt, to coat.

Combine the lime juice, sugar, orange liqueur, Triple Sec, tequila, and a big handful of ice in a cocktail shaker (or blender). Shake the margarita really well, for a good 20 seconds, add a splash of beer and strain into the salt rimmed glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
