How To Make Margarita

One of the most popular tequila-based cocktails, Margarita mainly contains tequila, orange liqueur and lime or lemon juice. At times, sugar syrup or bottled limejuice might also be added to the cocktail. Margarita is usually served shaken with ice, on the rocks or blended with ice. In all the three methods, bartenders might serve the drink, with salt on the rim of the glass. Others might not coat the glass rim with salt or might coat only half of the rim with it. While you are making margarita, in order to make it better you need to use better tequila. The better the tequila, the better would be the margarita. Although it largely depends on the taste of a particular person, agave tequila is considered good.
