Easy Margarita recipe
1 cup ounces reposado tequila blanco
1 cup orange triple sec
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
2/3rd cup lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnishing
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest plus
1/3rd cup lemon juice
1/4 cup ounces agave nectar
Because margaritas are very easy to make, and also very versatile, you can get creative in your home. things I like to add our kiwis, are strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapefruit, jalapeños, cilantro, avocados, and pineapples (both raw and grilled).
A margarita is a classic drink composed of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime, usually served with a salt rim on the glass. It’s often mixed with agave syrup, which goes naturally with tequila as they’re both made from the agave cactus.
Spice up your salt rim. I like to add lime zest and a pinch of cayenne to the salt. You can also add a bit of sugar to the mix.
Try it with mezcal! A mezcal margarita is a very different experience but just as delightful. Mezcal is an Oaxacan spirit-like tequila, it’s from the agave plant, but has a smokier profile. It can make a lovely margarita with a complex flavor.
Add some fruit for a flavored margarita. This is a classic way to personalize your margarita. I love to add fresh berries in the summer, either muddled into a drink on the rocks or blended in a frozen margarita.
Cointreau is a type of triple sec, or orange liqueur, which is a classic choice for margaritas. But there are many types of triple sec out there that would be just as delicious. You can also try other types of orange liqueurs like Grand Marnier or Curacao, which will change the flavor slightly.

I spent a good few days playing about on a perfectly balanced margarita recipe. The combo of lemon and lime juice as well as steeping the zest in the juice makes this recipe a true winner! Hope you will enjoy it as much as all the production team did.

The wife and I will be trying this recipe this weekend. Thank you!

[@angelacardone2631]

I’ve made these and they are PERFECT. I tripled the recipe and made a giant batch for a party and everyone raved about them! This is my go-to recipe for margaritas!

[@markonline1.]

It’s blanco not bianco. I personally think a blanco is the better option, and that Olmeca Altos is a great option, especially for the price. I also think upgrading the triple sec is totally worth it.

[@chefjonashton2003]

Thank you!

[@jarosawchmielewski5298]

Mmmm good choice. I want more

[@fretless05]

I find the orange liqueur to be sweet enough to balance the tequila without adding sugar, but I do love the idea of making the juice ahead of time and allowing the zest to infuse. I do use liqueur instead of triple sec as I like the flavor and the ABV is higher in the liqueur, making it less dilute when the ice melts to cool the drink. I am one of the many folks out there that have been using my microplane incorrectly all this time, though, and it made me nervous every time as it was hard to control and I don't want to zest my fingers into a drink. Great video and thanks for the tips!

[@chefjonashton2003]

Thank you for the feedback friend!

[@rendatoner7544]

[@ChefJackLA]

Made these last Saturday, as a Professional Mixologist I'm always looking for variations of some of the classic drinks. This is perhaps the best example of a excellent upgrade to the very well know drink around the world the Margarita. I have had dozen's and dozen of Margaritas during my travels around the culinary world and I have to say this is by far the best Margarita I've had. The lemon is perfect. I prefer a full bodied Margarita where I can taste the Tequila and the Cointreau but a few of my friends prefer a little lighter version so I walked back the Tequila and Cointreau by 1/4 a cup. But most of of us like it just the way Chef Jon makes it. A clear winner which will be my go to Margarita mix now. You will want to use Cointreau with recipe it does make a difference.

[@omarramirez5764]
