The marvelous Margarita

Finding a bar that serves the perfect Margarita is an art form, but there’s nothing to stop you from trying this cocktail at home. Tequila, triple sec and lime juice come together to create the zingy, refreshing, summer cocktail that always hits the spot.

There’s no going wrong here - after all, it’s only three ingredients. Most commonly strained in a chilled cocktail glass with a salted rim, this cocktail can also be served on the rocks, or even frozen.
