Margarita Cocktail Recipe

The Margarita is one of the most iconic tequila-based cocktails, known for its bright, zesty flavor and refreshing balance of sweet, sour, and salty. Originating in Mexico, it blends tequila with lime juice and orange liqueur, creating a citrus-forward profile that highlights the agave notes of the spirit. Often served in a salt-rimmed glass, the Margarita has become a global favorite, equally popular in its classic form or as a frozen, fruit-infused variation.
