![]() You'll notice that I don't use Cointreau (or any other triple sec) in these margaritas. You can also use light agave nectar instead this will change the cocktail's flavor profile slightly, but it's an easy swap that works well for both margaritas and mojitos. The sweetener - Simple syrup: You can make this or buy it, but in any case it should be made with water, cane sugar, and nothing else.(The same goes for my coconut margaritas - and all of my cocktail recipes!) Remember, there are only 3 ingredients in a 321 margarita, so you want the freshest, juiciest limes you can get. The citrus - Fresh lime juice: Don't buy it bottled, and don't even think about using a mix.Whichever you use, look for one made with 100% agave, or " puro agave", so you know you're getting the real deal. I prefer blanco, since it tends to have a cleaner flavor that plays nicely with the other ingredients in this cocktail, but reposado will work too. The liquor - Tequila: A great margarita is made with a great tequila (or at least a pretty good one), and that's especially true when it makes up 50% of your drink.We've covered the basics, but let's get into them in a little more depth: It's strong, it's refreshing, it's easy to mix up, and it's simple enough to memorize by heart. Now, I'll let you in on a little secret: you only need 3 ingredients to make the ultimate margarita. 321: The perfect margarita recipe ratio.It's served on the rocks with salt - as a proper margarita should be - and you can easily add jalapeño to give it a spicy twist. But this, my friends, is the perfect margarita: smooth, cool and crisp more tart than sweet and oh-so-fresh (since it's made from scratch). It’s a must in the original recipe.When it comes to recipes, the word "perfect" isn't one I throw out lightly. I’d actually recommend cutting a 1/2 lime into quarters adding 2oz of agave muddling the contants in a shaker adding the ice shaking vigorously serving over fresh ice and garnishing with four dashes of orange bitters and salted rim. I’ll be making a pitcher of this stuff very soon! This is absolutely perfect! I was hesitant about the lack of triple arc but I don’t like that stuff anyway and the drink is PERFECT without it. This is amazing! The house drink at my wedding was similar albeit even lazier, hence our name "Lazy Margarita": My hubs and I made these two nights in a row. Used 1/2oz of simple syrup, perfect amount to subtle sweetness and tartness. Try this one and you will leave the BA poor substitute forever. 3 parts Tequila, 2 parts Triple Sec, 1 part fresh lemon juice, 1 part fresh lime juice. The real Margarita FROM Mexico where my friend went for 6 months every year is this. Sometimes I add sliced jalapenos to the sugar water mix when making the simple syrup for a little kick! You may adjust the sweetness to your own taste with the simple syrup. a Tequila Sour has lemon, bitters & egg white in addition to the the lime & tequila… So this is definitely not that. ![]() NO it’s not “authentic” but it’s damned tasty to me. I use pretty decent tequila and prefer the taste of that, no need for triple sec. ![]() This is pretty much how I make mine, but use agave nectar instead of simple syrup and add fresh squeezed Orange juice as well. ![]()
