Whats the secret to a good margarita?

The secret to a better marg is in the juice.

That means freshly squeezed lime juice (not the bottled stuff), and—here’s the real secret—a splash of fresh OJ. That’s right. Fresh-squeezed juice from an *actual* orange, NOT orange-flavored liqueur, is the secret to a cleaner tasting, more refreshing margarita.

  4. optional sweetener: agave nectar or simple syrup, to taste.
  5. ice.
  6. lime wedge and coarse salt for rimming the glass.

Top Tips for Flavored Margaritas

Why does my margarita taste bitter?

If you’re experiencing your margarita is too sour, that’s probably because of too much lime juice. You may have followed the recipe correctly but since lime’s acidity varies this may have caused it to be too sour. Add more sweetener to balance a too sour margarita.

What’s a perfect margarita?

The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice (3:2:1), and you should probably start off pretty close to that. My favorite ratio for a perfect margarita is 4:3:2.

Is Cointreau the same as Grand Marnier?

Grand Marnier is an orange liqueur in the curaçao tradition, and Cointreau is a triple sec. Grand Marnier is a blend of cognac and triple sec, so although it’s not a traditional curaçao, it’s a similar product. Cointreau, on the other hand, is straight up a triple sec.
