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.

Steps:
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup and orange liqueur. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Place Lime-salt-sugar on a plate. Press the rim of a chilled rocks or wine glass into the mixture to rim the edge. Strain margarita into the glass.
- Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (Alternatively, heat in the microwave.) Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- Blend together lime, salt and sugar in a small blender or mini food chopper.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your margarita. Fresh lime juice is especially important, as it adds a bright, citrusy flavor that can't be replicated with bottled lime juice.
- Don't skimp on the tequila. A good margarita should be made with at least 1.5 ounces of tequila. If you use less, the drink will be too weak and watery. Remember that the type of tequila will affect the flavor of the margarita. For example, a reposado tequila will add a more complex flavor than a blanco tequila.
- Use a good-quality orange liqueur. Orange liqueur is another important ingredient in a margarita, and it's worth spending a little extra money on a good-quality brand. A good orange liqueur will have a rich, complex flavor that will complement the tequila and lime juice.
- Don't over-shake the margarita. Shaking the margarita too much will make it watery and dilute the flavor. Just shake it gently for a few seconds, until the ingredients are well combined.
- Serve the margarita immediately. Margaritas are best served immediately after they're made. If you let them sit for too long, the ice will melt and the drink will become watered down.
Conclusion:
Making a delicious margarita at home is easy with the right ingredients and a few simple steps. With good tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and a splash of sweetener, you can create a classic cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your perfect margarita recipe.
