Years ago, I shared my homemade margarita mix, which I highly recommend trying if you’re using store-bought mix (it’s so much more delicious). Today, I’m excited to share the recipe for the best margarita made from scratch.<\/p>\n
More Tequila Recipes:<\/strong> Homemade Margarita Mix, Skinny Margarita, Frozen Margarita, Watermelon Margarita, Coconut Margarita, Paloma. <\/p>\n There are some simple bar tools that will make your homemade margarita experience simple and fast. I recommend A handheld citrus squeezer<\/a>A measuring shot glasses<\/a> (I use it for almost every cocktail I make) and a cocktail shaker<\/a>. <\/p>\n Start by preparing your glassware. I like to drink half a glass of salt so people have the option of a sip with or without salt. <\/p>\n Next, fill a cocktail shaker<\/a> With tequila, orange juice, lime juice and agave. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake for about 15 seconds or until the shaker is icy. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, try using a mason jar with a lid. <\/p>\n Do a quick taste test and make sure you’re pleased with the drink. You can add more sweetener if you feel it is needed. <\/p>\n Strain from a shaker and pour the drink into your decanter glass. add something ice cubes<\/a> And garnish with fresh lemon to serve. <\/p>\n I use agave to desalt my salt because it is a little more nutritious and holds more salt than lemon juice. Lemon juice also works. When you make a salt rim, be sure to only add the outer rim so unwanted salt doesn’t fall into your drink. i like to have some margarita salt<\/a> For just such an occasion at hand. You can also make your own margarita salt (it’s fun!). <\/p>\n This margarita recipe includes tequila, orange liquor, lime juice and agave. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n February 22nd is National Margarita Day, so be sure to try this recipe to celebrate. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n The classic ratio for a margarita is 2-1-1. Which is 2 ounces tequila, 1 ounce orange liqueur and 1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice. The agave is technically optional (although I never omit it) and I use a half ounce. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n Margarita means “daisy flower” in Spanish. <\/p>\n<\/details><\/div>\nMargarita Ingredients <\/h2>\n
