About the Margarita
A margarita is a cocktail of tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and sometimes simple syrup. It is served shaken with ice, without ice, or blended with ice (frozen). Most bars serve margaritas in a stepped-diameter variant of a cocktail glass or champagne coupe called a margarita glass, often with salt or Tajín on the rim of the glass. The margarita is one of the US most popular cocktails and the most popular tequila-based cocktail.
