While I have tested lots of cocktail recipes for you, here are a few that will help you use up that bottle of tequila. I hope you enjoy it, responsibly of course! Remember, the best margarita recipe is one that’s made from scratch! Strain tequila mixture over ice (if desired) and garnish with lime wheel.Add tequila and orange liqueur (and simple syrup if using) and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.Fill your cocktail shaker with ice cubes.Gently dip the rim of the glass into the salt to coat.The squeezed end should still have enough moisture left in it to do this. Use the squeezed end of a lime to rub the entire rim of the glass.Add a layer of sea salt to a small plate.Cut a lime wheel from the center of the lime and reserve for garnish.Cinco de Mayo is every year on May 5th, and National Margarita Day is celebrated on February 22nd. It doesn’t have to be a holiday to enjoy a margarita.Margaritas can be served in rock glasses or highball glasses too, so don’t feel like you have to run out and buy special glasses.You can even freeze your glasses to help keep the drinks cold. The cocktail will be nice and chilled from the cocktail shaker. You can make this margarita on the rocks or not.Use a handheld juicer or just squeeze it in your hand. Yes it gets ALL the juice out, but limes are finicky and you just want the juice, not the bitter taste from the pith. I have an electric juicer, but I usually don’t use it for limes.There are those that have an allergy to sulfites too, so be sure to check with your guests, or use real limes. Sulfites are used as a preservative, but can cause headaches for some people. Lime juice that comes in a bottle will likely have sulfites.I don’t use simple syrup for my own drink, but if you like it a little sweeter you certainly can! I have included that in the recipe below.Coarse sea salt is used to decorate the rim of the glass, a must with this particular cocktail.You’re going to need lime wheels for garnish anyway, so no sense wasting the rest! If you do happen to use bottled juice, make sure it doesn’t have any added sugar. Limes are an important element in a properly mixed margarita.Grand Marnier is more amber in color and I think it looks the prettiest. You will need an orange liqueur such as Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier.I recommend silver tequila, but you can use whatever you like. Tequila is the main alcohol in this drink.

You can up the measurements in this recipe and make a large pitcher if you like! Great for backyard parties. Whether you want to celebrate National Margarita Day, Cinco de Mayo, or just summertime, mixing up the perfect Margarita is the way to go. I highly recommend making this drink from scratch, and don’t forget the salt rim!

If you’ve ever ordered one of these tasty cocktails from an authentic Mexican restaurant, it’s likely that it came from a cocktail shaker, not a bottle.
