Classic Margarita Recipe ...Tequila, Lime, Triple Sec
Favorite Restaurant Drink Recipe


Despite thousands of restaurant drink recipes, this classic
Margarita recipe is still one of the most popular with my
restaurant guests (and me), especially when sitting on the
patio on a warm afternoon or evening.


This beverage can be made ahead of arriving guests. Just
leave out the ice and store the drink in the refrigerator. When
it is time to serve your Margaritas, just put ice cubes (on-the-
rocks) in the glasses and pour the drink. Or crush the ice in
your blender and put the crushed ice in each (salt-rimmed, if
you like) glass and pour in the margarita mix.
