There is nothing better than margaritas in the cocktail world, but only if made with fresh limes, and fresh orange juice. Triple sec (in my humble opinion) taints the bright flavor profile of lime juice, while orange juice lets it shine. I like Tropicana just as much as the next guy, but that pure, fresh squeezed sweetness is unparalleled.
1.5 oz 100% agave tequila (blanco, reposado, anejo…)
.5 oz agave nectar (simple syrup will lend a cleaner taste but agave is better for you!)
1 oz fresh orange juice
2 oz fresh lime juice
*Pro tip - add a little water to your lime juice to dilute it slightly, and chill beforehand.
Combine all ingredients in a shaker, give it a few good jostles, and pour into an ice filled glass.
