The Quest for the Best Classic Margarita Recipe
/I’ve been on a quest to make the perfect classic margarita, and after some extensive R&D, I think I’ve gotten one step closer with this recipe. It’s not too sour and not too sweet. In lieu of the traditional Triple Sec, I chose Cointreau, and for the sweetener, a natural agave nectar.
2 ounces Patron Silver tequila
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1/4 ounce agave nectar
Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake. Strain into chilled margarita glass.
I am a “with salt” margarita gal, but you can omit the salted rim if it is not your thing.
Cheers!
