MARGARITA RECIPE

[mike52]

Looking for a Good Margarita recipe. Nothing super strong but a good/great taste. Planning on using 1800 silver tequila.

Sammy Hagar's recipe is probably my favorite.

Juice of one lime
Juice of half a small orange
1/4 ounce agave syrup
1 ounce orange liquor
1.5 ounces tequila or mezcal

Shake with ice for about 20 seconds.

I like it with mezcal. But it's definitely not the most popular flavor. And the amounts are changeable based on your tastes.

Here is my go to. We have a margarita machine so it is for the frozen variety. "Should" be just as good on the rocks I'd assume

Best I've ever had was fresh squeezed lime juice, simple syrup made on the stove, and triple sec. IDK how much of each he used but I know they were incredible and also snuck up on me quickly.

@Chaneylake has a pretty top notch recipe. I haven't seen it in years. But the only thing I'd do to improve it would be to suggest GHOST Tequila. It's delicious, whether by itself or mixed in a drink

My favorite is simple
A glass of 1800with salt on the rim
2 limes cut in half
Squeeze the limes into the glass of tequila
Gently mix and enjoy..

Tequila in a shot glass. Nuff said.

Why dirty a glass???

Excellent point. I stand with your decision

We just made this recipe. It's the best margarita I've ever drank. Thanks! So much better than the heartburn inducing triple sec!

Only way I've ever made them is using Cointreau's recipe:

Ingredients:

1 oz Cointreau
2 oz Blanco Tequila
1 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

• Step 1/5
  Make a salt rim on your glass.
• Step 2/5
  Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice.
• Step 3/5
  Shake vigorously until well chilled.
• Step 4/5
  Strain into a Margarita glass.
• Step 5/5
  Garnish with a lime wheel.

Edit: I have been known to add 1oz Chambord at times

Chambord is an excellent addition to margaritas AND Old Fashioneds. I highly recommend using it in both for a nice riff on the originals. Simple blackberry syrup works too.

Yeah I agree with you.

Also, I didn't mention in the recipe above (and it should go without saying) but you want to use a good 100% de agave blanco tequila.

Save the other swill for when the in-laws come over.
