My love language is tacos. This is a fact. And so it just makes sense that my favorite cocktail is a margarita.
The reasons are simple:
- It includes tequila, which is my fave spirit
- It’s easy to make modify to make it skinny or low carb
- I can make them non-alcoholic for a festive kiddie drink
- They are pretty foolproof and consistently good
- It’s refreshingly yummy
Tricks to making margaritas taste really great:
- Good tequila. That doesn’t necessarily mean pricey, but just a nice, quality one. My faves are: Casamigos (about $45 for 750 ml) and Espolòn Blanco (about $25 for 750 ml)
- Fresh lime juice or a good bottled juice.
- A good mix, if you’d prefer.
