How to Make the Perfect Classic Margarita with Don Levi Tequila

Obviously, we had to start our cocktail recipes with the most famous tequila based cocktail: The Classic Margarita. This well balanced cocktail has tasting notes of zesty, fresh, crisp, and tangy flavors with sweet yet earthy undertones. No sugar is needed for this Margarita. Enjoy this cocktail on a sunny day, at social gatherings, or on National Margarita Day (February 22).  

At Don Levi Tequila, we believe the quality of your tequila makes all the difference, and our 100 percent Agave Blanco is the perfect base for this iconic cocktail.  

Ingredients:

50ml Don Levi Blanco Tequila: The best tequila, in our opinion (but of course we would say that). It is distilled twice from 100 percent agave, ensuring a smooth and crisp flavour in every sip, making it the perfect base for this classic. 

25ml Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice adds tartness, slight acidity, and zestiness.  

25ml Orange Liqueur: A hint of sweetness and citrus that balances the tart lime while enhancing the tequila’s smoothness.  

Salt: Used for rimming the glass, adding a savory touch that elevates the Margarita experience.  

Lime Wedge: A classic garnish that enhances the drink’s aroma and adds a refreshing touch.  

How to Make the Perfect Classic Margarita: 

1. Rim the Glass with Salt
Start by running a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Next, dip the rim into salt, coating it as little or as much as you like.  

2. Add the Ingredients to the Shaker 
Pour Don Levi Blanco Tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur into a cocktail shaker. Do not forget to add ice.  

3. Shake Well 
Shake for about 10 to 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and frosty.  

4. Strain and Serve 
Strain into a tumbler over ice.  

5. Garnish with a Lime Wedge
Finally, garnish your Margarita with a fresh lime wedge.  

6. Enjoy! (Responsibly)
