Margarita on-the-rocks (Difford's recipe)
This is how I like my Margaritas, tequila-forward, with tangy citrus, a hint of balancing sweetness and a faint salty undertone

Hi Simon.
Thanks for answering some of my questions elsewhere.
Long time reader of the books, though only recently started using the website.
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 ?

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

Do you find that batches of lime have can different levels of sourness?
Hence, adjusting that component in the Margarita is left to taste.
