What is Margarita?
The Margarita is a classic cocktail made with tequila, triple sec, and lime juice, with an ABV of approximately 25%.
Characterized by its salt-rimmed glass and sweet-sour flavor harmony, it's the most popular tequila cocktail in the world.
Born in Mexico in the 1940s, this iconic cocktail is recommended for anyone who loves the combination of refreshing lime and tequila.
Margarita ABV
The Margarita has an ABV of approximately 25%, placing it in the medium-high range for cocktails.
Tequila (40%) at 50ml and triple sec (40%) at 20ml combined with 15ml lime juice, plus dilution from shaking, creates roughly 25% alcohol content.
Much stronger than a Gin Tonic (10%) or Mojito (12%), and similar to a Negroni (24%). The salt rim softens the perception of alcohol strength, but it's actually quite strong.
