On the rocks, frozen, tommy's, spicy — every version, done right.
AMERICA'S #1 COCKTAIL
The Margarita is the most-ordered cocktail in America. Tequila + lime + orange liqueur. Simple, refreshing, endlessly riffable.
THE CLASSIC: 2 oz blanco tequila + 1 oz lime juice + ¾ oz Cointreau. Salt rim. Rocks glass.
THE FAMILY:
• Tommy's — agave syrup replaces Cointreau. Cleaner, tequila-forward.
• Spicy — muddled jalapeño, Tajín rim. The trending version.
• Frozen — blended with ice. Use less citrus.
• Mezcal — sub mezcal for tequila. Smoky twist.
• Skinny — tequila + lime + agave + soda. Fewer calories.
• Top-shelf — reposado tequila + Grand Marnier.
THE NON-NEGOTIABLE: Fresh lime juice. NEVER bottled.
THE UPGRADE: Cointreau over cheap triple sec. Night-and-day difference.
