2 margaritas
The Margarita holds a well-deserved reputation as one of North America's most beloved cocktails. Its enduring popularity stems from the combination of tangy lime, sweet orange liqueur, and tequila's distinct, slightly smoky notes. Speaking of tequila, selecting the right type can make or break your margarita. We recommend white tequila made from 100% blue agave for the crispest taste, but you can experiment with reposado, añejo, extra añejo, and cristalino as well. Each has a unique flavor profile. Our Margarita recipe leans more toward the tangy. Add more simple syrup to adjust for your taste. A Margarita on the rocks is a beloved cocktail, perfect for sipping on a hot summer day or enjoying at a festive gathering. Its lively flavors, icy chill, and tangy taste make it a popular choice for cocktail enthusiasts around the world.
