Ingredients Needed:

- 1/4 ounce agave nectar or simple syrup (optional)
How To Make Margarita Recipe?
- Prepare the Glass: Rub the lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into 10g of salt to coat the rim. Fill the glass with ice.
- Mix the Drink: In a cocktail shaker, combine 30ml lime juice, 45ml tequila, 30ml orange liqueur, and 7.5ml agave nectar (optional). Add ice and shake for about 20 seconds.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass and garnish with the lime wedge.
Recipe Tips:
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, authentic flavor, while bottled juice can taste artificial.
- Choose quality tequila: A good-quality blanco or silver tequila will make your margarita taste smoother and more refined.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you like a sweeter margarita, add more agave nectar or simple syrup, but do it slowly to avoid over-sweetening.
- Moisten the glass for the salt rim: Run a lime wedge around the rim before dipping it in salt for a better coating and extra flavor.
- Make it stronger: If you prefer a stronger margarita, add a little more tequila to your mix for a bolder taste.
How To Store Leftovers?
Margaritas are best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, let them cool to room temperature and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Re-shake and add fresh ice before serving.
