Cocktail - Perfect margarita recipe with cointreau
The Margarita was originally created when Dallas socialite Margarita Sames mixed her two favorite spirits, Cointreau and tequila, together with lime juice while on vacation in Acapulco back in 1948. The classic cocktail recipe of tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice with salt around the glass rim is always drinkable, but there’s nothing like a summer margarita.

- To make a frozen margarita: Fill a blender with a few handfuls of ice, then add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and agave syrup. Blend until the mixture is slushy (add more ice if you want it more slushy!). Pour into the salt-rimmed glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.
- To make a fruity frozen margarita: Place ½ cup of your favorite frozen fruit (we like strawberry, mango, pineapple, and watermelon) and a handful of ice in a blender. Add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and agave syrup. Blend until the mixture is slushy (add more fruit if you want to amp up the flavor or make the drink colder!). Pour into the salt-rimmed glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.
