Happy Cinco de Mayo! In my book Cinco de Mayo tops all other holidays (yes, even Thanksgiving) as the best food and drink day of the year! Here's a deliciously classic margarita recipe to help you celebrate in style.
Classic and Sweet Margarita
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1 cocktail (can be easily multiplied) 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ oz. fresh lime juice
- 1 ½ oz. silver tequila
- ¾ oz. triple sec
- ½ oz. agave syrup
- lime wedge
- granulated sugar
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and then dip the rim onto a plate covered with sugar to coat.
- Fill glass with ice cubes.
- Add the lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and agave syrup to a cocktail shaker and shake until well blended.
- Pour over the ice and enjoy!
Notes
If you don't like your drinks sweet, use just ¼ oz agave syrup and coat the rim of your glass with salt instead of sugar.
