If you are looking for the perfect summer drink, then this Homemade Fresh Margarita Recipe is for you! These margaritas are so fresh that you will crave them all summer long!
Cinco de Mayo is coming up this weekend, and the sun is finally shining here in Kentucky! The combination of the sun and thoughts of Mariachi bands has totally gotten me in the mood for margaritas! I've had many margaritas in my day, but none compare in freshness to this recipe. So please, throw out the store bought margarita mix, grab some salt and make your own delicious and fresh margaritas...you will thank me later!
How to Make a Margarita
Step 1 - Moisten the rim of your glass of choice with a lime wedge, then dredge the glass rim in kosher salt.
Step 2 - In your glass, add 1 ½ ounces of Tequila, 1 oz. of fresh lime juice, ½ ounce of orange liqueur, and 1 ½ tablespoons of Simple Syrup (this is my Homemade Simple Syrup Recipe )
Step 3 - Stir ingredients and add ice.
Step 4 - Garnish with lime slices or a lime wedge. Enjoy!

I wish the recipe would have been consistent with the measurements. Either Oz's or T spoons but not both! Threw me a little bit!
