The Margarita is a bit like a bowl of cornflakes – you go ages without having one and then one day you rediscover it in all its delicious simplicity, and you wonder how you ever lived without it.
Blanco and reposado tequilas tend to work best in this recipe. A blanco tequila is the unaged expression of tequila while a reposado tequila is a tequila which has been aged in American or European oak for two to 12 months. Also try substituting the Cointreau with agave syrup or the Giffard Agave Sec.
