THE PERFECT MARGARITA

Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

SARA'S PERFECT MARGARITA

Ok, so I'm not new at drinking Margaritas, but usually I just buy the margarita mix, throw some tequila in, and go from there. Last night I so want margaritas, but couldn't buy the mix. So, I read a few recipes to get the general idea, and came up with this. It was seriously THE best margarita I have ever had! In fact, i think we'll make them again tonight! Lol

Steps:

  • Place lime juice, lemon juice, and sugar in the blender. Blend for 2 minutes, to dissolve all the sugar.
  • Add tequila, and fill jug with ice cubes. Blend until ice is crushed.
  • Dip the rim of a glass in the jug, then dip it in salt. Fill the glass with your drink, and enjoy! :).
  • I keep the jug in the freezer, and give it a quick whizz on the blender each time before I pour a new glass.
