- Don't skimp on the lime juice. Fresh lime juice is essential for a good margarita. Use at least 1 ounce of lime juice per margarita.
- Use simple syrup to sweeten your margaritas. Simple syrup is easy to make and it will help to balance out the sourness of the lime juice.
- Chill your margaritas before serving. This will help to make them more refreshing.
- Garnish your margaritas with a lime wedge or a cactus pear slice. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drinks.
