The Margarita is the most requested cocktail at every event we bartend — weddings, birthdays, backyard parties, you name it. The secret to a great one is fresh lime juice (never sour mix) and a quality 100% agave tequila.
INGREDIENTS

- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz orange liqueur (Cointreau)
- 0.5 oz simple syrup

Bartender's Secret
Pro tip: Always use fresh-squeezed lime juice. Bottled juice or sour mix will ruin an otherwise great margarita — it’s the #1 mistake at home bars.
