Notes
- Use freshly squeezed juice for best results — no bottled stuff!
- Tequila tip: Choose a smooth blanco for a crisp, clean flavor or opt for a reposado or añejo for a richer twist.
- Make it bubbly: Add a splash of sparkling water if you like your margarita fizzy.
- Juicing shortcuts: A hand-held citrus press makes juicing quick and easy. Roll citrus on the counter to loosen the juice before cutting.
