For this recipe, there is no need for any fancy mixes. All you need is 5 ingredients and ice. The ratio is easy to remember too! 1 part simple syrup - 2 parts triple sec - 4 parts tequila - 4 parts lime juice. Cover with about twice the amount of ice and you’ve got the perfect accompaniment to any pool party or cookout. Remember that ratio and you can have the perfect margs for your crowd (or you know… yourself 😝). Need pairing ideas? Well obviously the acid from the lime juice helps to cut through spicy foods like Nashville hot chicken or rich Pozole. You can also keep that bottle of tequila you used to make the drinks to spike these tequlia-lime chicken tacos. Not to mention it pairs perfectly with our Margarita Cupcakes. Almost important as the cocktail itself is what you rim it with. Obviously we love salt but you could spike that with a bit of chile powder, or use Tajín! You could even do a dusting of for a bit of sweetness. Have you given this recipe a shot? Let us know how it went in the comments below.
