Top Margarita recipes and how to make them

What goes in a Margarita?
A classic Margarita is made with just three ingredients: tequila, fresh lime juice and triple sec (a clear, orange-flavoured spirit). Ice is important to keep everything cool, while garnishes – such as salt for the rim and more fresh lime wedges – add a final flourish.
A good Margarita deserves top-notch tequila. Try our M&S Distilled Silver Tequila, which is distilled in Mexico using blue agave, and has delicious grassy notes. Or level-up with our new Casa 1884 Tequila Blanco, made in Mexico from 100% Agave Azul, with bright citrus notes. After something with more depth? Try our Casa 1884 Tequila Reposado, a reposado tequila that's gently rested to develop a smoother, rounded character.
What does a Margarita taste like?
It’s beautifully balanced. There’s depth and fragrance from the tequila, that’s a zesty sourness from the lime, and sweetness from the triple sec.
Bring on the Margs!
