This classic version of the margarita is absolutely perfect. It is made with only 4 simple ingredients: freshly-squeezed lime, tequila, orange liqueur, simple syrup. Sometimes, my friends, it's just best not to mess with perfection!
Recipe adapted from the Food Network Kitchen.
I am a cocktail loving girl. I get super excited to try a new cocktail recipe. Through the years, I have made many different versions and flavors of the margarita. But a classic margarita is by far my all-time favorite. This version is perfect served alongside your favorite Tex-Mex dishes or on its own. It's light and fresh with just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. It's so refreshing on a hot summer day. So, go ahead and celebrate Cinco de Mayo every month. I won't judge.
This margarita pairs perfectly with my Freezer Friendly Guacamole or my Instant Pot Chicken Burritos Bowls, and my "Sexy Sweets (aka: Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes). Cheers!
