Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Margarita?
A Margarita is a Mexican cocktail made primarily of tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar, typically served in a salt-rimmed glass. It is commonly consumed as an aperitif or a refreshing beverage during social gatherings.
Should I use silver or reposado tequila?
Silver (blanco) tequila is standard for a crisp, clean flavor that highlights the lime.
Can I use bottled lime juice?
Avoid it at all costs; fresh lime juice is essential for the authentic tart profile.
What if it's too sour?
Increase the agave nectar slightly to find your perfect balance.
Do I really need salt?
The salt is essential to balance the acidity of the lime and the heat of the tequila.
