This summer, I’m on a mission to try as many different types, flavors, and brands (mixes and tequila) of margaritas as I can. I already have a nice list of margaritas to add to my resume of “cocktails I’ve tried,” but I figure this summer, why not concentrate on one cocktail that I really like and just go all out. Stay with me…
Your standard margarita recipe is:
- 3 parts Tequila
The Margarita
- 2 part Cointreau/ Triple Sec
- 1 part Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice

Other variations of the margarita include:
Margarita With Salt Foam Float
- 4 spoons sea salt
- 1 pint Chilled Mineral water
- 2 Fresh Egg Whites
- 2 oz Tequilla
- 1 oz Cointreau/ Triple Sec
- 1 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
Frozen Margarita
- 1.5 oz Tequila
- 3/4 oz Cointreau/ Triple Sec
- 3/4 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1/2 oz Sugar Syrup (2 parts sugar to 1 part water)
But then there’s margaritas made with different types of mixes, spicy margaritas, fruity margaritas, margarita martinis, skinny girl margaritas — there’s a heck of a lot of margaritas to try.
