I really liked it. The earthy notes from the tequila, the sweetness from the orange liqueur and the citrus acidity from the lime works really well together to make a balanced and sophisticated cocktail.<br \/>\nFor the tequila I used El Tesoro Bianco which is considered to be one of the best tequilas. My previous experiences with tequila was mostly with shots and the occasional glass of a\u00f1ejo. El Tesoro was indeed fantastic, although I think I still prefer sipping single malt to tequila bianco.<br \/>\nEither way, try to use an 100 % agave bottling to give your Margarita that extra smoothness.<br \/>\nWhen it comes to the salted rim, personally I don&#8217;t like it since I think the salt is too aggressive in taste and distracts from the cocktail. I will make my next Margarita without it.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe is enough for one martini glass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients for the Margarita:<\/strong><br \/>\n45 ml tequila<br \/>\n30 ml orange liqueur (I used Cointreau)<br \/>\n15 ml freshly squeezed lime juice<\/p>\n<p>Lime wheel for garnish<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to prepare the Margarita:<\/strong><br \/>\nPut the Martini glass in the freezer for a bit to make it cold. Salt the rim of the glass if desired.<br \/>\nShake ingredients with ice, fine strain into the chilled cocktail glass.
