The Perfect Margarita Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (The Perfect Margarita Recipe). Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.
