Margarita (straight-up)
If desired, for the perfect salt rim you can liquidise or grind sea salt to make it finer, then run a cut slice of lime (or orange) around the outside...

Out of curiousity, How is Margarita usually prepared, with Tequila blanco or reposado? Does it matters or is just a preference?

It's down to your own preference. I lean towards reposado when served on-the-rocks and blanco when straight-up.

There is only one way of improving this.
Exactly the same but switch out the syrup for “jalapeño agave” syrup.
Made by bringing a chopped jalapeno in 90ml of water to the boil, remove from the heat, leave for 5 mins then stir in 45ml of agave nectar, fine strain and refrigerate.
The perfect “Jalapeño Margarita”.

Thanks, David. I've added "Jalapeño agave syrup" (along with your instructions) as an ingredient in our Cocktail Builder in case you or others want to use Cocktail Builder to add your version to Difford's Guide.

Living in Southern California, I have had Margaritas in many combinations. This is still my favourite. It is simple, direct, and wonderful. Not too sweet, but well balanced. Margaritas should have a sweet/sour flavour.

Delicious - very hard to improve a classic margarita. Try swapping the agave syrup for lavender syrup and you might just achieve the impossible
