![]() Need to serve a crowd? You can easily double (or triple) this recipe too in a pitcher to serve your crew with ease. You can use kosher salt or coarse sea salt for your rim-whatever you prefer/have on hand will work. While we love a good pitcher moment, we went classic with these margs by serving them in individual glasses with a salt rim and lime garnishes. Really want to shake things up? Combine some of your favorite cocktails together, just like we did with our mimosa margaritas and frozen sangria margaritas. Add in sweet fruit flavors (hello peach and pineapple), spicy kicks (lookin’ at you jalapeño), or create icy, frozen varieties (our frozen strawberry marg is a classic). Once you've got your basic margarita ratio down, you can experiment with all of the flavors and variations you please. While we love all our over the top margarita alternatives, when it comes to the classic, all you need is some lime juice (freshly squeezed please!). We used simple & reliable triple sec in these margaritas, but if you have a preferred Cointreau you’d like to use, feel free to swap it out! Craving something a little less sticky sweet? Try our skinny margarita, which swaps the orange liquor for OJ and agave. ![]() More of a mezcal lover? Feel free to swap it out for a smoky, earthy mezcal margarita. Unsure about what type of tequila to use? Blanco tequila is always a solid option, but a good reposado would also be an excellent choice (especially if you’re looking for a smooth, almost caramel-like flavor to turn into a Cadillac margarita). If you’re searching for the perfect tequila for your margarita, there’s no shortage of options. The key to making the best margarita is all in the ratio and balance of the ingredients. Now one of the most popular cocktails in the world, the margarita is thought to have started out as the variation on another prohibition-era drink called the "Daisy." Spanish for "daisy," the marg swapped in tequila for the requisite brandy and lime juice for lemon juice, and a classic was born. ![]() All you need are 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make one for yourself-get those limes out, and let happy hour again! We’ve done our fair share of experimenting with this classic cocktail, but when we’re craving a simple, no frills, refreshing cocktail, this classic recipe is the one we turn to. Store any extra in an airtight container in the cupboard.Here at Delish, we can’t get enough of margaritas. Margarita salt: While you could grab a store-bought version, margarita salt is super simple to make at home: Mix coarse salt (kosher, sea salt, pink Himalayan) and some lime zest for added flavor.Agave nectar: Made from the agave plant (the same plant that is distilled to make tequila), the sap is boiled down into a syrup and used as a sweetener. ![]() With its pure concentrated flavor, fresh juice tastes more like the produce, while bottled or carton juice can sometimes taste a little muddied or have added sweeteners that will throw off the flavor of the whole drink. While bottled or carton fruit juice is convenient in a pinch, try juicing the fruit fresh, especially if you make this margarita in the summer. Fresh fruit juice: Lime and orange juice are refreshing additions to this otherwise heavy drink, providing some sweet and light dilution.For this recipe, use Triple Sec or Cointreau, a drier, slightly spicy alcohol. Orange liqueur: A sweetened distilled liqueur made with dried orange peels or essential oil, this spirit also comes in various styles and types.For this recipe, choose a blanco tequila, the lightest, unaged tequila, which is typically best for margaritas and other light cocktails. Blanco tequila: Tequila is available in three main types: blanco, reposado, and añejo.
