About the Recipe
The Margarita is a classic cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, typically served in a salt-rimmed glass and garnished with a lime wheel. It is a popular drink that is often associated with Mexican culture and is considered a summertime favorite due to its refreshing taste. The Margarita can be served on the rocks or blended and frozen, and it's often garnished with a salt rim on the glass.
