What is the easiest way to juice limes?

Using a hand-held citrus juicer is the easiest way to juice limes. Place a 1/2 lime into the juicer and squeeze over a receptacle.

This hand-held citrus juicer has proven to be durable and reliable. It’s fantastic for limes, lemons and even small oranges. I also use this juicer for fresh lime juice for my blueberry coconut mojitos and my Blackberry Margaritas.

How much lime juice do you need for margaritas?

You’ll need 1 oz. (2 tablespoons) of juice for a margarita. When buying limes, budget at least 1 lime per drink, plus any slices you’ll want for garnishes and rimming glasses.

What kind of alcohol is a margarita?

Margaritas are a tequila based co*cktail.

We like and prefer Herradura Reposado Tequila for our margaritas. There are many other brands out there – choose the best quality tequila you can afford.

What is better in a margarita Cointreau or Triple Sec?

I prefer Cointreau in a margarita. Cointreau is a orange citrus liqueur, made with sweet and bitter orange citrus rinds. It adds some great richness and mild citrus flavor that pairs perfectly with the lime juice in a margarita.

Triple Sec is also appropriate for a margarita. It is not as strong – Cointreau is approximately 40% stronger than Triple Sec.

Do you need simple syrup to make a margarita?

Simple syrup is not needed to make a margarita.

What ingredients do you need to make a margarita?

The base ingredients for a margarita are Tequila, Cointreau (or Triple Sec), and fresh lime juice. The ratio for these is 2:1:1, 2 parts tequila, 1 part Cointreau, and 1 part lime juice.

How many calories does a raspberry margarita have?

This raspberry margarita has 240 calories and 0 g of added sugar.

Restaurant margaritas are typically are very calorie and sugar heavy. For example, the Texas Roadhouse Raspberry Margarita has a whopping 470 calories and 76 grams of sugar. That is the equivalent of 19 teaspoons of sugar!

When it comes to co*cktails (and most other foods) making it at home, will not only save you calories, you’ll likely get a better tasting, fresher drink.

How do you salt a rim at home?

To salt the rim of your glasses for margaritas, run a lime wedge around the rims of the glasses. Dip the glasses into kosher or margarita salt. Lastly, fill the glasses with crushed or cubed ice. Add some lime slices to the glasses, if you prefer.

I’m usingJose Cuervo Margarita Saltfor these margaritas. It comes in a convenient round, flat container that makes it useful for rimming the edges of your margarita glasses.

What is the best glass for a margarita?

There are two different options for serving a margarita. The standard glass for a margarita is a curved, up-style glass like what I used for myPineapple Margaritas.This is a more traditional glass for a blended drink.

The second option for serving a margarita is a rocks glass. This is a more traditional vessel when enjoying a margarita on the rocks.
