FAQs
What type of tequila is best for margaritas?
For the best flavor, use a high-quality, 100% agave tequila. Avoid tequilas that are labeled mixto, as they contain a blend of agave and other sugars.
Can I make this recipe without a blender?
Yes, you can mix the ingredients in a shaker with ice instead of using a blender. However, the resulting margarita will not be as smooth and slushy.
Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh?
You can use bottled lime juice, but the resulting margarita will not have the same fresh flavor as using freshly squeezed lime juice.
