The Only Margarita Recipe You’ll Need this Summer

Refreshing, versatile, and easy to make. It’s no surprise the Margarita is one of the world’s favourite cocktails. Created in 1948 by Margaret Sames, the original recipe is simple and has remained unchanged since the beginning: Cointreau, tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, and a salt rim. In fact, Cointreau and the Margarita are so inseparable that Sames famously proclaimed,

“A Margarita without Cointreau is not worth its salt”
– Margaret Sames
