classic margarita on the rocks

I think everyone should know how to make a classic margarita.

The margarita is just one of those staple cocktails that everybody loves.

The best part about making this drink is that it only requires 3 ingredients (4… if you like a little extra sweetness 😉).

Contrary to popular belief, a classic margarita is actually not blended and is traditionally served on the rocks. So this recipe will be following that classic format.

Important tip! There are two key components to make the best possible classic margarita: Using fresh lime juice (not any pre-made margarita mix) & using a great tequila.

If you can accomplish both of those key elements, you will have a wonderful tasting margarita.

So let’s go ahead and learn how to make it!!
