The Key to Making a Perfect Margarita
Quality ingredients set great margaritas apart, and our Blanco Tequila is free of added sugar or flavor. Our time-honored production process creates a perfectly smooth complement to the crisp bite of fresh lime juice. This recipe uses natural agave nectar as a sweetener to draw on the tequila’s own earthy agave flavor. Serve over ice and garnish with a salt rim to make any moment a little more festive.
The Código margarita calls for only a few ingredients, so each one should shine. For the purest lime flavor, use only freshly squeezed lime juice. Bottled, store-bought lime juice often contains added preservatives that could leave you with a bitter aftertaste. Store-bought mixes can be overly sweet and are full of chemicals. This is a pure, gluten-free recipe.
To punch up the cocktail’s citrus notes, add zest to the juice and let it steep for a couple of hours before you mix your drink. That way, you add flavor without increasing acidity.
