A margarita on the rocks is the most traditional way to enjoy a margarita, and the best margarita to serve in a pitcher. It's typically enjoyed in a glass rimmed with salt and garnished with a lime wedge. The easiest recipe combines tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice with fresh ice in a co*cktail shaker.

"How about you get up on stage and make a margarita? You're really good at that," she says, requesting that Aniston "tell us how" she makes what we're guessing is her signature drink. "Oh, lord, it's barely a recipe. It's basically silver tequila with lime juice shaken and over rocks," Aniston shares.

Made from premium Blue Agave Silver Tequila (yes, please) and lightly sweetened with agave nectar, the original Skinnygirl® Margarita is STILL delicious and low-calorie (really?). Yes, really.

In Margaritas, the inclusion of triple sec provides a luscious, warm citric note that counterbalances the lime juice's high acidity. Considering the relatively low ABV of most triple secs and orange liqueurs, the orange flavoring isn't as “juice-forward,” which allows the tequila to shine.

What is the best formula for margaritas? ›

The formula for the perfect margarita:

The key to making the best margarita is all in the ratio and balance of the ingredients. This recipe is doubled to make two margs, but for one perfectly balanced margarita, we use 2 oz. of tequila, 1 oz. of triple sec, and 3/4 oz. lime juice.

The most familiar item to rim a glass with is probably the salt you find on a margarita, but you can use the same principle with sugar, cocoa powder or nibs, chili powder, dried or fresh herbs, or wherever your imagination takes you.

A Margarita is said to have all five main tasting notes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami, making it a perfectly balanced drink. It has a strong citrus flavour from the presence of lime juice and triple sec - an orange-flavoured liqueur.

In Margaritas, the inclusion of triple sec provides a luscious, warm citric note that counterbalances the lime juice's high acidity. Considering the relatively low ABV of most triple secs and orange liqueurs, the orange flavoring isn't as “juice-forward,” which allows the tequila to shine.

Cointreau is a type of triple sec but with a significantly higher alcohol content (40 percent ABV). “Cointreau's flavors are well balanced between bitter and sweet, the warm spices give complexity but more than anything, enhance the orange flavor rather than masking it,” Gentry says.

Dip the rim of the glass in margarita mix, then dip in coarse sea salt. If you pour some salt onto a flat surface like a plate or cutting board, you'll have better luck. Shake up the margarita mix and tequila with plenty of ice. Strain the drink into a co*cktail glass over ice cubes and garnish with a lime wedge.

Truly says the Margarita-style seltzers are made with real ingredients found in the co*cktail, including lime juice concentrate, agave nectar, and sea salt.
