A good classic margarita recipe is a difficult thing to come by these days. Everyone has their personal margarita preferences–flavored margaritas, skinny margaritas, frozen margaritas, beer margaritas, and even some prefer margarita cupcakes or ice pops. The simple lime flavor seems to be a hit with almost everyone.

This tried and true classic margarita recipe is one of my favorite! Warning: Drink slowly, they sneak up on you!

A couple of years ago I ran across an almost perfect classic margarita recipe. A few tweaks and here it is–my very favorite classic “house” margarita recipe.

Is this a strong margarita recipe?

Yup! Super strong–I’d definitely suggest drinking this when you’re home and not driving. It’s a tad sweet so you can’t taste the tequila–watch out!

Can I make this a non-alcoholic margarita?

You could–but I’m not sure if it would be a bit too sweet without the tequila to mellow it out. Maybe cut back on the sweetener and taste it first if you’d like to make a virgin margarita,

        We love Margies in the UK and we’ve found that if you put some jalapeño chillies in the bottle of 100% Agave tequila,(leave for a couple of weeks) then mix a straight authentic margarita with 1 part tequila 2 parts cointreau, lime juice and we make it a long drink by letting it out with some blood orange juice… it’s a perfect Friday drink for us mum’s to relax on a summers afternoon with!!
