Ever since I got a shaker a year ago, my goto drink is a Margarita. Just love them.

    After making them at the home, I can’t drink margaritas when I’m out anymore.

    It’s three ingredients! Why is everyone messing with it? They always use some kind of mix or add flavors.

      There is a Bad Margaritas thread in this community somewhere but I agree so hard. 2 parts tequila, 1 part orange liqueur, 1 part lime works for me, it’s so ridiculously delicious for something so simple.

      If someone wants a lighter one I do 1.5 parts tequila, 1 part orange juice, 1 part lime juice and a little bit of simple syrup.

      Not even sure what margarita mix IS. There’s nothing to mix, really. You need the fresh lime for it to taste good, and you need the tequila, so what’s in the mix?

    The fresh lime juice really makes a difference, feels like the easiest way to mess up a margarita is with bad lime juice

      Thanks man!

      I pretty much use the recipe of the guy of the „How to drink“ channel on YouTube.

      • 1 oz or 30ml of fresh lime juice
      • 1 oz or 30 ml of orange liqueur (I use Cointreau)
      • 2 oz or 60 ml of tequila out of 100% agaves

      I do not only strain the ice, but also filter the cocktail through a fine sieve to get the lime particles out. But that’s just a preference of mine.
