The Perfect Margarita: My Go To Recipe

There’s nothing like a perfectly balanced margarita—fresh, zesty, and just the right amount of smooth. I skip the overly sweet, pre-made mixes and keep it simple with high-quality ingredients. Here’s my favorite way to make a margarita:

• 2 oz tequila (go for a good blanco or reposado)

• 1 oz Cointreau or Grand Marnier (instead of triple sec)

• 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice

• Agave syrup to taste (optional, if you like it sweeter)

• Ice

• Half salt, half Tajín for a perfect mix of savory and spicy

Prep the glass – Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it into a mix of salt and Tajín.

Mix it up – In a shaker, combine tequila, Cointreau or Grand Marnier, and fresh lime juice. If you like a touch of sweetness, add a little agave.

Shake it well – Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and blend the flavors.

Serve – Strain into your rimmed glass over fresh ice.

Enjoy – Sip and enjoy the perfect balance of citrus, smoothness, and a hint of spice from the rim!
