So why a margarita recipe on a vegan food blog? Fair question.ĭid you know some margarita mixes contain egg whites? (Some sour mixes too.) Ask your local bartender the next time you order one at a restaurant, and you may be surprised. THIS is our go-to vegan margarita recipe! And with much alteration (read: samplings), we finally hit the mark. Shakespeare says “love is not love which alters when it alteration finds” (Sonnet 116). Once you get some good ones, it will change your world-view. Many people say they hate it because they’ve only been introduced to bad ones. Even the most staunch tequila-avoiders seem to enjoy a decently made margarita (especially B)…if the tequila is good enough. I don’t think I have ever met anyone who doesn’t like a good margarita. We enjoy a good margarita around here and have been working on the perfect recipe – that we can both agree on – for a while now.

Today’s post should help with that last one at least. Maybe right now you just want to push a pause button on the day. It’s possible you’re overwhelmed by what poet Charles Bukowski calls “that swarm of trivialities…which are always there” (“The Shoelace”). Maybe right now you want to kick off your shoes and put your feet up. That being said, it is really all personal preference.This is our go-to easy margarita recipe! A simple recipe, using only 4 ingredients to yield 2 large margaritas or 4 small cocktails, this margarita is perfect for date-night-in or Taco Tuesday! It’s easy enough for even the most novice mixologist and has the perfect combination of sour, sweet, and salty. The ice is in bigger pieces which means they melt a little slower. On the rocks means your margarita is poured right over ice cubes. Margaritas are made in a blender giving you a fun chilling drink. Which is better? Frozen is more of a slushy. Frozen or on the rocks: Which way to serve margaritas? This will give you smaller lime zest pieces vs big chunks. Helpful tool: I suggest using a fine grater or zester for the sugar. Rub the edge of your glass with lime juice and roll in the salt mixture.

Stir together 2 tablespoons of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, and the zest of one decent sized lime. Not to mention it adds some serious “wow” factor if you are serving to guests! We love to add a touch of sugar and lime to our rime salt. BUT it is so much better when you have that added touch. Is a margarita really a margarita if you don’t line the rim of your glass with salt? It is the key to a well rounded drink and helps pull all of the flavors together. However, it really does help balance the flavors by giving it an added fruity flavor and sweet and bitter notes. You do not need to add orange liqueur (Triple Sec) into a margarita. Do you have to use orange liqueur in a margarita? A few great options that won’t break the bank are Tres Agaves, Lunazul, Camarena Silver. Our favorite tequila to use in a margarita is either a silver or blanco. This is such a deep question and one I have found has many answers.

My brother swears by a splash of orange juice.
