Who doesn’t love margaritas? This mixture of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice is the perfect combination of tart and sweet. While it is currently one of the most popular alcoholic beverages, it is a relative latecomer to the cocktail o. There are many stories of how it came to be, but it is generally believed that it got its start in the 1930s or 1940s.

Preparing Margaritas
Whether a margarita is “classic” or flavored, it is usually prepared in the same way. The drink is made in a cocktail shaker and either shaken with ice, blended with ice, or made without ice altogether. It usually includes tequila, orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or triple sec), and lime juice. Flavored variations may include other ingredients. It is traditional to serve margaritas in a salt-rimmed cocktail glass. In addition to being shaken and served, these cocktails can also be served as a slush, also known as a frozen margarita.
Our Classic House Margarita
The classic margarita is in the sours family. The International Bartenders Association (IBA) standard mix for this drink is 50% tequila, 29% Cointreau, and 21% fresh lime juice. As an IBA official cocktail, it is one of the many cocktails this organization selects for the World Cocktail Competition.
At Guadalajara’s Grill & Tequila Bar, our House Margarita takes the classic margarita recipe to a new level. We use only the finest tequila from Guadalajara, Mexico, quality triple sec, sweet and sour, and real limes. We make our margaritas fresh, just for you. Feeling adventurous?
