Homemade Sweet-and-Sour Mix for Margaritas recipe | Epicurious.com

water

sugar

lemon juice

lime juice

This margarita recipe is three parts tequila, two parts good triple sec, and one part lime juice. On the rocks and with salt, of course.

The Classic 3-2-1 Margarita

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

lime wedge

silver (blanco), 100 percent agave tequila

orange

lime juice (from about 1 lime)

lime

Margarita

Ice cubes

tequila

Simple Syrup, recipe follows

orange liqueur

salt

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup and orange liqueur. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Place Lime-salt-sugar on a plate. Press the rim of a chilled rocks or wine glass into the mixture to rim the edge. Strain margarita into the glass. 

Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (Alternatively, heat in the microwave.) Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. 

Blend together lime, salt and sugar in a small blender or mini food chopper. 

I made these for a Mexican dinner and they were absolutely delicious!  My daughter introduced me to this recipe a couple of years ago but she didn’t bother with the salt mixture.  I followed the recipe exactly, including the lime-salt-sugar for “frosting” the glasses’ rims, and my daughter agreed that prepared this way, the drinks were truly spectacular.  I wish I had one in my hand right now!  

Very good, very strong! I recommend adding an extra splash of simple syrup. And use good tequila.

Good proportions, but instead of simple syrup, try using agave nectar.  :)

This is a authentic delicious margarita recipe. Your friends will love it too. I will be making again. Just need to figure out how to make more than one at a time!

This margarita recipe is a must! Not too sweet and the perfect amount of juice and tequila! Made these for a cinco de mayo party and everyone loved them!

The best regular margarita I have had!  Yum!

A little sweet for my tastes but still great on a warm day.

I found that the recipe required 3 oz simple syrup and 2 tsp orange liquer.

Followed the exact recipe but combined Grand Marnier and Dekuyper triple sec.  Perfect! Refreshing and no one flavor overwhelmed the others.  Wonderful Blend!  Fresh lime is a must, and so (I suspect) is having top grade tequila - agave blue aged.  On-the-rocks makes a difference in quality of tequilas.  My guests raved ("best margarita ever!" etc.) 

Fresh is best! Margaritas really shine when they are simple and made with the best freshest ingredients. The most amazing Margaritas my husband and I ever had was outside the Tulum Mayan ruins from a little man in a lean-to hut, squeezing limes and pouring the good tequila. This recipe is very reminiscent of that spectacular memorable moment. ¡Salud!

The most perfect classic Margarita recipe is quick and easy to make. This lip smacking tequila cocktail served over ice is the best drink!

Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.

Whisk together the tequila, lime juice, cooled sugar syrup, orange liqueur and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Freeze until slushy in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 45 minutes (see Cook's Note). Transfer the frozen margaritas to a chilled pitcher. Store in the freezer until ready to serve. 

Fill a small plate with an even layer of salt. Moisten the rims of 4 chilled rocks or wine glasses and press into the salt to rim the edges. Divide the margaritas among the glasses. Serve with lime wedges.

Mango Margaritas

coarse sugar (see Cook's Note)

mango

Ice,

Begin by zesting the limes. Pour the coarse sugar over the lime zest and toss with your fingers to combine. Set aside. 

Throw the mango chunks into a blender. Top off the blender with ice. Pour in the tequila and triple sec. Add the granulated sugar and squeeze in the juice of the limes. Blend until completely smooth, adding more ice if necessary to get the consistency you want. Use a piece of one of the limes to moisten the rims of the glasses. Dip the rims in the lime sugar. Pour the drinks and serve immediately.

This was an amazing recipe.  I used pineapple instead of mango because that’s what I had in the freezer.  I also reduced the sugar by half but replaced the other half with agave syrup.  Will indeed make these again.  

Anyone know about how much ice one should have? Looks delicious!

Thank you Ree Drummond! Made this yesterday for the 4th of July! This is my new favorite cocktail!  <br />I have a small freezer and can't hold much ice, so I bought four 10oz bags frozen mango chunks and didn't need to use any ice. My blender is smaller, so I had to halve the recipe to make two batches, each serving four, instead of one batch that served 8. The lime zest mixed with  sugar for the rim was wonderful.  I may  need to have a margarita night once a week just to make these. Absolutely amazing! 

Addictive!  Mine wouldn’t get real frothy though but still yummy!

Excellent! I halved the recipe and used one fresh mango. Perfect for 2 people! 

It’s a good recipe.  I would use it again.  I felt like it needs a little something more though.  

Oh my!  How delicious these were. I added less sugar than called for, but otherwise followed the recipe.  Enjoyed them with tacos, refried beans and Ree's Mexican rice.  A lovely dinner on a cold Nor'easter night.  Thanks Ree.

Gteat recipe!  Refreshing for day drinking!!

Ree's Mango Margaritas

Your favorite cocktail in pie form—what's not to love? This creamy, tart, tequila-spiked frozen dessert is exactly what every pool party needs.

Frozen Margarita Pie

unsalted butter

graham crackers

Tbsp. sugar

heavy cream

limes, divided

sweetened condensed milk

Tbsp. tequila blanco

Your favorite cocktail in pie form—what's not to love? Just keep in mind that you'll need to freeze the pie at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, for the ideal texture, so be sure to plan ahead.

Melt 6 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.

Crumble 10 graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor. Add 3 Tbsp. sugar, ¼ tsp. salt, and melted butter to bowl and process until mixture resembles wet sand.

Transfer graham cracker mixture to a shallow 9" pie pan. Using a measuring cup, press firmly into bottom and up sides of dish. Freeze 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk ¾ cup heavy cream in a medium bowl until cream begins to thicken to the point you see ripples and stiff peaks begin to form, 3–5 minutes.

Cut 4 limes in half and juice into a fine-mesh sieve set over a glass measuring cup (you should have about ½ cup juice). Pour lime juice into another medium bowl and whisk in 14 oz. condensed milk, 3 Tbsp. tequila, and remaining ¼ tsp. salt until smooth.

Fold half of whipped cream into lime juice mixture, carefully folding under and over while turning the bowl. Add remaining whipped cream and continue to fold until no streaks remain.

Remove pie pan from freezer and pour in filling. Using the back of a spoon, gently spread filling to edge of crust.

Using a microplane, zest half of the remaining lime over pie.

Freeze pie at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
