AUTHENTIC MEXICAN MARGARITA



Authentic Mexican Margarita image

When choosing your tequila, quality is key. Opt for a blanco made from 100% blue agave. Although many people reach for premade sour mix, using fresh lime juice will result in a vastly superior drink.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA



The Perfect Margarita image

Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

SAN ANTONIO MARGARITA



San Antonio Margarita image

Josie Davidson is one of the great hostesses of South Texas and learned to make margaritas from her father, Chris Gill, who received the recipe in the 1970s from Mario Cantu, owner of Mario's, an old-line Mexican restaurant in San Antonio. She passed her knowledge along to The Times in 2015: Combine equal parts tequila, orange liqueur and fresh lime juice in a pitcher, using a measuring glass if you have one to get it to 26 ounces exactly (deploy a splash or so more than a cup per liquid if you don't), then add 6 ounces of water to the mix and set it in the refrigerator to chill. Serve over ice in glasses with salted rims. She doesn't use triple sec - she says it's too cloying. Her father advocates Cointreau. For Davidson, only Paula's Texas Orange liqueur will do.
