The Quest for the Best Classic Margarita Recipe

CLassic Margarita Recipe

I’ve been on a quest to make the perfect classic margarita, and after some extensive R&D, I think I’ve gotten one step closer with this recipe. It’s not too sour and not too sweet. In lieu of the traditional Triple Sec, I chose Cointreau, and for the sweetener, a natural agave nectar.

  • 2 ounces Patron Silver tequila

  • 1 ounce Cointreau

  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice

  • 1/4 ounce agave nectar

Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake. Strain into chilled margarita glass.

I am a “with salt” margarita gal, but you can omit the salted rim if it is not your thing.

Cheers!
