Steps to Prepare Perfect Margarita Applebees Price

The Perfect Margarita

If you want to serve it up the same way as in the restaurant you need a small martini glass.

Recipe Summary The Perfect Margarita

Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

Ingredients | Perfect Margarita Applebees Price

1 lime wedge

1 pinch coarse sea salt to taste

1 large ice cube

ice

2 fluid ounces white tequila

1 ½ fluid ounces triple sec

1 fluid ounce freshly squeezed lime juice

1 slice lime

Directions

Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Sprinkle salt onto a plate. Lightly dip the moistened rim into the salt. Place a large ice cube in the glass and freeze the prepared glass until ready to serve.

Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously until outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a slice of lime.

Chef's Notes:

For the best results, be sure to use fresh ice, fresh limes, and a nice bottle of triple sec, like Cointreau(R). You'll also want to use a decent 100% agave white tequila, like the Don Abraham's Single Estate Blanco Tequila I enjoyed, but having said that, feel free to use one with a shorter name.

Some like to add a dash of agave nectar for a little extra sweetness, but I do not.
