Probably one of the most popular cocktails in existence, the margarita cocktail comes in many varieties. From classic to frozen, fruit-infused to layered, salted rim to sugar-crusted, this cocktail is extremely versatile. At the same time, however, it can be as unique as the individual drinking it. There isn’t much better than a pitcher of these tart-n-trendy cocktails with a plate of nachos 😉

While we could debate the ‘perfect’ margarita, I truly believe that simple is better. Start with a simple three-ingredient cocktail–tequila, agave nectar, and fresh lime juice. From there, you can add other ingredients such as Cointreau, Gran Gala, and fruit juices (mango, pineapple, …). Makes me thirsty just thinking about the possibilities.

We can all agree that the ‘perfect’ margarita is the one you are currently drinking 😉

The Perfect (IMO) Margarita

2 oz. Blanco Tequila (I prefer Casamigos)

1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice

1/2 oz. Agave Nectar

Put all of the ingredients in a shaker. Add ice and shake until well chilled. Pour over ice and garnish with a lime wedge.

Drink up!
