Strong and delightfully citrussy
Tequila
Meaning “daisy” in Spanish, the classic Margarita is a delicate balance between Tequila’s natural vegetal notes, sweet orange and sharp lime
How To Make It
If you prefer a salt rim on your Margarita, select your glass (either a rocks or coupe) and rub a lime wedge around the rim before rolling the glass on a small plate of salt – the salt should stick to the moist rim. Be sure to do this first as once the cocktail is in the glass it’s virtually impossible to add a decent salt rim.

- 30ml triple sec
- 30ml fresh lime juice
- ice cubes

Did you know?
The Margarita appeared in the 1970s, but has deeper roots, with an almost identical drink called a Picador, which calls for the same ingredients in the same quantities but no salt rimmed glass. The Picador’s recipe was first published by the United Kingdom Bartender’s Guild in the Café Royal Cocktail Book of 1937.Make this Cocktail
