About


This classic cocktail is a perfect Summertime sipper and tropical favorite. The Perfect Margarita Recipe is a beautiful thing and I have you covered right here with this recipe!  Like many of the classics, there is not really that much to the drink. While there are many different Margaritas that use sweetener, flavors, and tricks, the classic Margarita stands as a fairly simple drink. There are only a few ingredients and they work well together to help the tequila shine.
