Real Margaritas

By á-114543

This margarita recipe is more tart because it has no added sugar. You can add simple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer your drinks sweeter but it's not overly sweet as written.

Ingredients

• 1 lime, halved
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 5 limes
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup Triple Sec
• 1 cup white tequila
• 2 cups ice, plus extra for serving

Preparation

Step 1

If you like margaritas served in a glass with salt, rub the outside rims of 6 glasses with a cut lime and dip each glass lightly into a plate of kosher salt.

Combine the lime juice, lemon juice, Triple Sec, tequila, and ice in a blender and purée. Place extra ice in a cocktail shaker. Fill with margarita mix, shake well, and strain into glasses.
