Lemon(s): Depending on the number of margaritas you are going to prepare. The juice will be used both in the drink mix and to moisten the rim of the glass before frosting with salt. Calculate 30 ml (1oz) of lemon juice per Margarita.
Salt: To frost the rims of the glasses.
Tequila: We recommend "Tres Generaciones©," but you can use your preferred brand.
Syrup: This will act as a sweetener in the drink.
Orange liqueur: Adds a touch of sweetness and an aromatic flavor to the drink.
First, the lemon. The choice of this ingredient can make a notable difference in the taste of our Margarita. The type of lemon also matters; for example, lemon with seeds has a more acidic taste. The lemon's acidity is vital to complement the strength of the Tequila. Therefore, it's essential to choose wisely to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
We will squeeze lemon juice into a glass to obtain 2 oz or 60 ml to prepare two margaritas.
The juice will also be used to moisten the rims of our glasses before applying salt. Place the salt on a plate, wet the edge with the lemon juice, and apply the salt by turning the glass until the grains stick to the rim.
Fill the glass with ice.
Regarding Tequila, we recommend using Tres Generaciones©, Silver Tequila. This Tequila adds a smooth and distinctive touch to our Margarita.
The final taste of the Margarita depends a lot on individual preferences. Some may prefer a more spicy tequila taste, while others want a sweeter taste. The key is to find the balance that suits us best.
Add one to two oz of Tequila for each Margarita and shake the mix.
Finally, serve our Margarita in the appropriate glass, preferably a margarita glass, and garnish with a slice of lemon.
To be more environmentally conscious, we encourage you to eliminate using straws whenever possible.
And there you have it, the perfect Margarita. A blend of citrus flavors and Tequila softened with a touch of sweetness and served in a salt-rimmed glass. Whether enjoying a summer afternoon or livening up a party, this guide will help you make the perfect Margarita. Cheers!
