About Margarita

Margarita is one of the world’s most loved cocktails and comes from Mexico. Fresh, sharp, and full of character, it’s the perfect drink for a sunny day or paired with a spicy meal.

The recipe is simple but getting the balance right is key.

So how do you make a great Margarita?

Use fresh lime juice, good tequila, and orange liqueur like Cointreau. Shake everything with ice and strain into a chilled glass with a salted rim. The trick is to balance the tart lime, the sweet liqueur, and the kick of the tequila.

The name Margarita is often misspelled (you’ll sometimes see margerita or magarita), but when it’s mixed well, the taste is spot on.

Swedish bartender David Kringlund often shares his way of making a classic Margarita. His advice? Always use fresh lime and skip the pre-made mixes.

There are lots of Margarita variations out there, but the original is hard to beat. It’s a cocktail that combines simplicity with bold flavor. A true classic that never goes out of style.
