I love a good Classic Margarita but they can be hard to come by… ughhh.

So many people and places make them wrong by using mixes, adding simple syrup or even agave (to try and reduce sugar but it doesn’t).

My parents lived in the mountains of Mexico before I was born and learned the art of making the perfect Classic Margarita. This version has no added sugar… Its pure, simple and divine!

Now keep in mind, when making a margarita the tequila does matter! Always pick a tequila made from 100% agave. I prefer a silver tequila but that’s just personal preference. My two go two brands are Don Julio Blanco and Casamigos.

I give a recipe below but this is how I eye ball it, especially when making a large batch.

1. equal parts lime juice and Cointreau

2. double that combined amount with tequila

3. pour over a glass of ice OR pour in a pitcher, fill with ice and blend for frozen margaritas
