Chef's Tips
- Fresh Lime Juice: Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can alter the taste.
- Tequila Choice: Use a good-quality blanco or reposado tequila for a smoother taste.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet margarita, reduce or omit the simple syrup.
- Shaking Tip: Shake until the shaker feels very cold to ensure proper chilling.
- Serving Suggestion: For a fun twist, serve the margarita over crushed ice for a slushy texture.
