How to Make a Margarita

The Margarita is a classic Mexican cocktail known for its vibrant citrus flavor, combining tequila as the base with triple sec and lime juice. Its sharp tang is balanced by the smooth sweetness of orange liqueur and the signature bite of tequila, resulting in a refreshing and invigorating drink.

Traditionally served straight up in a cocktail glass with a salted rim, it’s also enjoyed on the rocks in many casual settings. Thought to have originated in coastal Mexico during the 1930s or 40s, it has since become one of the most popular cocktails around the world.

With an alcohol content of approximately 25–28%, the Margarita is on the stronger side, but its fresh lime acidity and citrus aroma help smooth out the edge. Perfect for summer beaches, brunch gatherings, or lively Latin nights, it’s a drink that never goes out of style.
