Margarita Recipe

For a classic margarita, ditch the overly sweet store-bought mixes and stick with the basics. The simple combination of tequila, dry curaçao, fresh lime juice, agave, and salt creates a refreshing and balanced cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. This is the perfect cocktail to batch out for parties or make ahead of time for a vacation.

If you like mezcal or a little heat in your margarita, see the substitution notes below the recipe.
