Notes
Ingredient Notes:Tequila: Blanco tequila is used for the margarita, be sure that it is 100% agave. High quality ingredients yield high quality drinks.Cointreau: Cointreau is our orange liqueur of choice for this drink, Triple Sec and Grand Marnier can also be used.Agave: Agave is the perfect sweetener for tequila and is a great pantry staple to have on hand.Key Lime Juice: Fresh juice is a must for cocktails! Depending on the limes, you will need about 7 key limes to make this drink. If you can't find key limes, you can use equal parts of fresh lemon and fresh lime juice in its place.Expert Tips:Shake your drink over lots of ice. Shaking the drink for at least 30 seconds not only combines the juice with the alcohol but chills it at the same time. Cold drinks are the best drinks.Substitutions▶︎We prefer Cointreau in this cocktail but don't worry if you don't have it at home. Simply swap Triple Sec or Grand Marnier instead and still get great results.▶︎We love the taste of the agave in this recipe but simple syrup can be used if that is what you have on hand.▶︎Can't find key limes? Use equal parts of fresh lemon juice and fresh lime juice instead. Remember fresh juice is always best.▶︎ Serving a group? Mix up a batch ahead of time and refrigerate (without ice) until ready to serve.
