Margaritas are the unofficial drink of summer. Making them with the best ingredients including premium tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice and Cointreau will guarantee you're a hit at your next cocktail party.
How to make a good margarita
The best thing about a margarita is that it’s pretty damn easy to make a good margarita. That’s probably why they’re so popular. If you have quality ingredients, it’s pretty hard to get wrong.
- Add a healthy 2-ounce pour of tequila balanced with lime juice, simple syrup and triple sec to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake your margarita. Best done with a huge smile and a bit of dancing.
- Then strain over a rocks glass with a salted rim.
(Himalayan rock salt is the best salt for margarita rim)
The best margarita recipe with cointreau
The best margaritas are made with high-quality blanco tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, agave syrup, and Cointreau. Like all cocktails, a margarita made with Patron or other premium tequilas, Cointreau and fresh lime juice will taste a helluva lot better.
Careful though. It’s embarrassing if you’re careless and you make a bad margarita. That’s a good way to look like you have no idea what you’re doing. That’s why using a margarita recipe with Cointreau is best. Quality ingredients make your job easier.
What is the secret to the ultimate margarita recipe?
We buried this at the bottom because it’s gotta remain top secret. But the secret to the perfect margarita isn’t the tequila, it’s the juice. Specifically, orange juice. Adding a splash of freshly-squeeze orange juice from a perfectly ripe orange, is the secret to the ultimate margarita recipe.
