Margarita Recipe Ingredients
The secret to the perfect margarita is the right ratio of tequila to triple sec.
Margarita recipe ingredients - Fill a cocktail shaker with ice then add the tequila lime juice and triple sec. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila 2 parts triple sec and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice and you should probably start off pretty close to that but my personal favorite proportions are 4 3 2. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake vigorously for 10 15 seconds.
Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice but once you dial in your perfect ratio it s a really easy cocktail to replicate. Stir the ingredients and a little ice together or put them in a cocktail shaker to combine. Serve with a slice of lime.
The original margarita recipe was designed to be served as a short drink with a volume of just 3 1 2 ounces. As with most classic cocktail recipes it will barely fill many of today s larger margarita and cocktail glasses much less a mason jar.
