Good to know

Chef's tip

For a unique twist, you can infuse the tequila with lime zest for 24 hours before making your Margarita. It will bring out the lime flavor even more! 🍋🍹

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

High alcohol content, does not freeze properly. Texture altered.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The base without ice or salt keeps 2-3 days max in the fridge in an airtight bottle. Add ice and salt just before serving.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The liquid base (tequila, triple sec, lime juice, syrup) can be made the day before. Keep refrigerated.

Variations

Serve blended by mixing the ingredients with ice.
Leave out the simple syrup if you prefer a tarter cocktail.
Replace the triple sec with Cointreau.

Mistakes to avoid

Forgetting to frost the glass: moisten the rim with a lime wheel before dipping it in salt.
Shaking too little: shake vigorously for about 15 seconds with the shaker filled with ice.
Serving without ice in the glass: fill the margarita glass with ice before straining.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a margarita?

Frost the rim of a glass with salt, then shake 50 ml of tequila, 25 ml of triple sec, 25 ml of lime juice and 10 ml of simple syrup with ice for 15 seconds. Strain into the glass filled with ice.

How do you frost the glass with salt?

Moisten the rim of the glass with a lime wheel, then dip it in a small plate of salt to coat it. Set the glass aside before making the cocktail in the shaker.

Do you need to add simple syrup?

The simple syrup is optional: 10 ml sweetens the cocktail. Without it, the margarita is tarter, with the lime juice and triple sec in front.

Which liquor goes in a margarita?

The margarita combines tequila (50 ml) and triple sec (25 ml), an orange liqueur. Alcohol is for adults only and should be consumed in moderation.
