Margaritas are one of the most popular and delicious cocktails in the world! Looking for a delicious, easy margarita recipe? Use one of the below margarita recipes, or pick up one of our delicious margarita mixes! Here at Jupiter Liquor Store in Plano, TX, we carry a huge range of ready-to-serve margarita mixes (complete with tequila) in fantastic juicy flavors, including: strawberry, mango, pineapple, spicy, blood orange, peach, watermelon and more.
If you want to try your hand at mixing up your own margarita, you can’t go wrong with the 2:1:1 or 3:2:1 margarita recipes – both very classic margarita recipes with decades of tried and true history behind them. Both recipes are incredibly easy to make and besides having different ingredient ratios, they are made exactly the same way.
These recipes only require 3 main ingredients: tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur – traditionally Cointreau, though triple sec or any other type of orange liqueur can be used. If you like your margaritas a little sweet, you can also add a touch of agave nectar, and we’re also big fans of a good sea salt rim and lime wheel to make your margarita look as delicious as it tastes!
What kind of tequila is best for margaritas? We recommend using either a reposado or silver (aka Blanco) tequila. Silver tequila is unaged, and will lend to a clean, fresh-tasting margarita with a true agave flavor and a subtly spicy finish. Reposado is tequila that has been aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 2 months and up to one year, and will add a richer, smoother, more nuanced flavor to your margarita.
Without further ado, here are the classic 2:1:1 and 3:2:1 margarita recipes!
2:1:1 Margarita Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 parts tequila
1 part orange liqueur
1 part lime juice
Optional: agave nectar, to taste (to add sweetness)
Optional garnishes: sea salt (for glass rim), limes cut into wedges or wheels
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker full of ice, and shake vigorously until very well chilled.
Optional: For a salt rim, pour enough salt onto a small dish to cover it. Rub a lime wedge along the rim, and gently dip the outside of the glass rim onto the salt, rotating until either half or the entire rim is coated in salt.
Pour your chilled margarita into your margarita glass and enjoy!
