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.

This recipe was collected many years ago when I lived in Chicago. It is from El Jardin, our favorite Mexican restaurant. It is very easy to remember, and you may vary the amounts of triple sec and lime juice to suit your personal taste.
