Tips For Making These Margaritas
- Choose a quality tequila. Blanco tequila generally works best for margarita recipes. Choose a brand you enjoy, and that is made with 100% agave. High end, sipping tequilas are not typically used in margaritas, but don’t choose the lowest quality tequila either.
- Use fresh lime juice. Most margarita recipes are made with lime juice. For the freshest, highest quality taste, always use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled lime juice.
- Use margarita salt. The type of salt you line the cocktail glass rims with makes a difference. Make your own margarita salt, or buy a premade one.
- Don’t add ice before serving. If you are scaling these drinks up for serving in a pitcher, mix the ingredients together in advance but don't add ice to the pitcher. This will water down the drink.
- Choose your margarita glasses. You can serve these margaritas in any type of cocktail glass, including classic margarita glasses or margarita rocks glasses.
