16 Southern Living Margarita Recipe You Must Try Them!

Ingredients

For the Margarita:

• 2 ounces of tequila
• 1 ounce of triple sec
• 1 ounce of fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon of agave nectar
• Ice

For the Salt Rim (optional):

• Salt
• 1 lime wedge

Before we get started, let's talk about the ingredients. Tequila is the star of this drink, so choose a good quality one that you enjoy. Triple sec adds a touch of sweetness and balances out the tanginess of the lime. Fresh lime juice is a must for the best flavor - avoid using bottled lime juice. And for a touch of natural sweetness, we'll be using agave nectar instead of simple syrup.

Instructions

1. If you want a salt rim on your glass, start by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass and dip it into a plate of salt.
2. In a shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave nectar.
3. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
4. Strain the mixture into your salt-rimmed margarita glass filled with ice.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge if desired.
6. Sip, relax, and enjoy your Southern living margarita!

This recipe makes one margarita, but feel free to double or triple the ingredients to make more. You can also get creative and add in some fresh fruit, like strawberries or mango, for a twist on the classic margarita. And if you prefer a frozen margarita, simply blend the ingredients with ice instead of shaking them.

So there you have it - a simple and delicious Southern living margarita recipe that will have you feeling like you're sipping on a beach in Mexico. Cheers!
