Steps:
- Fill mixing glass with ice.
- Pour in all ingredients.
- Shake well.
- Pour into salt rimmed glass.
- Add lime wedge or wheel.
Tips:
- Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice has a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lime juice. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to taste it before you add it to your margarita to make sure it's not too sour.
- Use good-quality tequila. The tequila you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your margarita. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid tequilas that are labeled "mixto," as these tequilas are made with a blend of agave and other spirits.
- Don't skimp on the orange liqueur. Orange liqueur adds a subtle sweetness and complexity to margaritas. Use a good-quality orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
- Use a quality wine. You can use any type of wine in your margarita, but a dry white wine or a sparkling wine works best. Avoid using sweet wines, as these will make your margarita too sweet.
- Don't over-shake your margarita. Over-shaking your margarita will make it watery and dilute the flavor. Shake your margarita just until the ingredients are combined.
- Serve your margarita immediately. Margaritas are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make your margaritas ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. When you're ready to serve, shake the margaritas again to combine the ingredients.
Conclusion:

With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a margarita that everyone will enjoy. Whether you like your margaritas sweet, sour, or somewhere in between, there's a margarita recipe out there for you.
