Classic Margarita Recipe to Create a Fiesta at Home #OurFamilyTable

A Classic Margarita recipe with tequila, triple sec and limes served in a salt rimmed glass.

I don’t drink cocktails often, but if I do it is usually a Margarita. I just love the salty sour combination. And, I definitely prefer straight or on the rocks versus blended.

Yes, you can just buy a bottle of pre-made mix with other additives. But, why bother when the drink is so simple to make up. The recipe below is just 3 simple ingredients shaken with ice.

If you like yours a little sweeter you could add some simple syrup or, better yet, a little agave.
