I stink at making drinks apparently.....Need a good Margarita recipe.

The Archer method works every time

Not what you're really asking for, but I've been drinking tequila with Simply limeade and its great.

I like O3 over triple sec too. It's closer to Cointreau than Triple Sec because it's 80 proof, and much cheaper.

Tequila
Triple Sec
Lime (Edited to say: FRESH LIME. I realized it wasn't implied.)

Sour mix is an abomination and should never darken the rim of a proper margarita.

You can add some agave for sweetness, or also a floater of Grand Marnier.

Can you guys give me a good recipe for a top notch Margarita?

I don't like sweet Margarita's like you get with the nasty mix and I've failed trying to hit a good one.

I've searched different recipes online and they are all over the place the ingredients.

TIA

imma be real with you. doing keto so sugar is a no-no. my recipe is as simple as you can get and foolproof.

- unsweetened natural key lime juice (in the organic food section)
- tequilla
- salt rim (gotta have this!)
- sprite zero

i love a good archer cointreau marg but that makes a nicely balanced non-sweet marg that is super smooth even w/ the sprite zero added.

plus its alcoholic friendly because you can make it in 15 seconds.

Tequila (Blanco or Reposado)
FRESH lime juice. FRESH, I said
Cointreau/Triple Sec/Orange Curacao
Agave Nectar
Salt
Ice

Stay away from margarita mixes at the store.

I add some of the liquid from peperoncini peppers for a little spice.

Picacita

1 part Triple sec
1 part Cointreau
2 part Sweet & sour
1 part Sauza silver
1 part Sauza Gold
1/2 Lime
1 part simple syrup
1 part grand manuie

On the rocks.

Mike's hard lemonade is stronger than your margaritas sweetie

We usually do the Archer suggestion:

2 parts tequila
1 part Cointreau
1 part lime juice

Gotta be careful with those though, because they will sneak up on you

I love this margarita.

I've made it without the egg white and simple syrup, and it's just as good. I don't need sweet, and the egg white kind of weirds me out.

Clayton's Margarita

INGREDIENTS
1 cup Good Tequila (Clayton likes Casamigos, you can do a little less if you don't want it as strong)
1/4 cup cointreau
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup of Simple Syrup
1 teaspoon egg whites (fresh or out of the carton is fine!)
Tajin, for serving (a sprinkle of kosher salt is okay if you don't have tajin)

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine in a blender, and let roar!!!!!!
Pour over a glass filled with ice and top with a dash of tajin or a sprinkle of kosher salt.
Enjoy!

NOTES
Clayton says he never stores his batch of margaritas in the fridge, as they tend to get tarte in the fridge. He leaves on the counter while people serve up their own glasses.
