Sometimes you just can’t beat the original. This classic marg is made up of freshly squeezed lime juice, tequila and triple sec. Finished off with its iconic salt rim, this margarita recipe is simplicity at its finest. We’ve used triple sec in our version but you can use another orange-flavoured liqueur, such as Cointreau, if you prefer. And if you like things a little on the sweeter side, add a little sugar (to taste) to your salt when decorating your glass.
