Margarita on-the-rocks (Difford's recipe)
This is how we prefer our margaritas to be served. Tangy citrus and tequila with a hint of balancing sweetness and a faint salty undertone. We also prefer...

I've checked back as far as our 7th edition (2007) and Margarita recipe is 2:1:1.

Great margarita recipe - going to be my go-to. But a question for the community - does anyone have a trick for measuring a small amount of agave syrup? Even if I measure the syrup into another ingredient already in the jigger, a significant amount ends up sticking to the sides of the measure.

I just use measuring spoons. This is all you need to know and you can convert any fraction of an ounce:
1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
So 1/6 of an ounce is 1 teaspoon.
1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
So 1/6 of an ounce is 1 teaspoon.

I just put it first and let all other ingredients try and "rinse" it with them. It works.

My first margarita was made by an elder gentleman in Mexico, and I've never deviated: Equal parts good tequila, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice. No sweetener needed. It's perfection. But I can't wait to try this one!

I really don’t like more than a half ounce of fresh lemon or lime juice in any standard sized (3 oz) cocktail. 1.5 oz Tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, 1/2 oz Lime juice, 1/2 tsp Agave syrup… works best for me.

By far my favourite margarita recipe, looking forward to warmer evenings where I can enjoy one in the garden whilst watching the sunset.

An excellent, refreshing drink. The pinch of salt in the drink is inspired versus the standard rim coating.
Thanks for answering some of my questions elsewhere.

Am I going crazy, or did the Diffords Margarita not once upon a time be
6:3:2, Tequila, Cointreau, Lime?
If I’m remembering this right, when and why did the change of heart occur ?
