Easy Classic Margarita Recipe
The best Margaritas use fresh lime + quality tequila and good orange liqueur, like Cointreau or Grand Marnier. Simple, easy, stress-free. For the best results use a high-quality tequila, made with 100 percent agave.
For me, there's nothing better than a perfectly mixed margarita.
* A note about pre-mixed margarita and mixes. I personally think there are a few premade margaritas that are actually pretty good and make it easy to throw an impromptu party. I do draw the line at the pre-sweetened mixes - I've never had good results using these.
Obviously, the best margarita is made with freshly squeezed lime. So let's make a pitcher of Margaritas!Classic Margarita Recipe
This will make one cocktail, to make a pitcher just change the number of servings and the recipe will recalculate. Simple, right.
