How We Like It
While there are dozens of ways to make a great classic margarita, I am going to explain why I make it how I do. I don’t use orange juice (too sweet) and often I don’t use orange liqueur (it’s not something we all have lying around and often the worthwhile ones are pretty pricey). I don’t like a blended margarita because it melts before you’re done drinking it, and the crushed ice dilutes the great flavor. I use agave syrup because it mixes well with tequila, being that they come from the same plant. Anyway! You’re welcome to find 100+ other recipes easily online, but give this one a try before you do that. Chances are you’ll be back.
*Tip: Agave syrup can come in pure agave form or already mixed with water. If you buy pure agave, a mix of 50/50 agave syrup to water will make a liquid that’s interchangeable with simple syrup. This is a hot tip for all of your cocktail making endeavors if you’d rather agave than sugar.
