Nothing quite beats the original

Grab the lime and the salt, it’s National Margarita day! So let’s celebrate with this Classic Margarita Recipe.

February 22nd is National Margarita Day! So what better way to celebrate Margarita Day than with this Classic Margarita Recipe?

Ah, margaritas! How we love you. They are tangy, tasty, and damn right yummy. And there are so many different variations on this frozen favorite, but nothing quite beats that classic lime margarita taste.

For the longest time, margaritas were the only way I could drink tequila. It is not my favorite liqour, and I don’t think it ever really will be. If it’s taste is not masked in the cocktail, I just can’t drink it.

If tequila isn’t your shot of whiskey either, try drinking it is in a Grapefruit Margarita or a Paloma. The fruity tastes of these cocktails really mask the flavor of the tequila. Especially if you use a cheaper tequila, which taste like feet.

We serve this margarita up two ways for those who like it on the rocks or want to chill out with a frozen cocktail. No matter how you drink it, Happy National Margarita Day!

Preparation

Prep Your Rim: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Fill a small plate with salt, and dip the rim into the salt. Set glass aside.

Classic Margarita on the Rocks: In a chilled shaker combine tequila, triple sec, simple syrup (to taste), and lime juice and give it a couple of shakes. Pour over ice, and enjoy!

Frozen Classic Margarita: Add ice and margarita mix to blender. Mix together at a high speed until mixture is fully blended. Pour into prepared glass, and enjoy!
