Elegante Margarita
One of the best Margarita recipes around. Richly endowed with flavour

Good, but a bit boring. Used regular Cointreau as I didn't have the "l'Unique" version. Also, I don't understand why there would be lime cordial AND sugar syrup...seems redundant. I omitted the sugar syrup & it was sweet enough. Might try to zhuzh it up next time, though there are so many other recipes, why bother?!

Regular Cointreau is now called Cointreau L'Unique, so you used the right liqueur. Thanks for the feedback on sugar syrup; something others agree with below. I found the cocktail too tart without syrup, but I have halved the measure.

It may depend on the cordial used, but we found the proportions well working and only added three drops of saline solution.

It's really good! I can see why everybody says to omit the sugar syrup, with the cordial it's already sweet (To me at least).

Great fruity cocktail. Agree with others and will omit sugar syrup next ;tie

Very nice. Not big on sweet drinks here. So as suggested by others I halved the sugar syrup.

Wonderful!

Agree with John- but I used 5ml of Agave in place of sugar syrup- still pretty sweet, but if I make again it will be a no to any sweetener, the lime cordial is enough.

Great version of the Magarita. I agree with Gregg Byfield, lowered the sugar syrup to 5ml and it was sweet enough. If you like a more sour Margarita, I would eliminate the sugar syrup entirely.

For me 5ml of sugar syrup was enough.
