CLASSIC MARGARITA

A classic margarita recipe doesn't need anything other than tequila, Triple Sec and fresh lime juice. When you're making the cocktail, make sure you squeeze the limes correctly for the ultimate freshness. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor

THE PERFECT MARGARITA

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.

A perfect, goof-proof margarita. Use your limeade can as your measuring cup. It's so much easier, less messy, and the recipe can then be adjusted if you buy a different size than I have listed.

Steps:

For Margaritas on the Rocks: Combine all ingredients together in a large pitcher, and stir well.
Or for frozen: omit limes, combine in a large plastic container and freeze.
These make the perfect slushy margarita.
Just let it sit out for a few minutes before serving, and then scoop into glasses with an ice cream scoop.
