Pro Tips

🥃 Tequila Choice

Use 100% agave tequila – mixto will give you a headache. Blanco is crisp and classic; reposado adds oak and vanilla notes.

🍊 Cointreau vs Triple Sec

Cointreau is premium orange liqueur that makes a noticeably better Margarita. If using cheap triple sec, add a splash of fresh orange juice.

🧂 The Salt

Use kosher salt or Maldon, never table salt. Rim only half the glass so drinkers can choose with each sip.
