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. The traditional Margarita...

From a longtime Californian, frequent visitor to America's Southwest. Your recipe is classic, essentially what I use, with a few tweaks. Usually a silver/blanco Tequila; lemons sometimes because flavor is more consistent year round; Cointreau is orange liqueur of choice. Used Agave syrup forever, now a new "secret ingredient" instead. Try same portion Velvet Falernum to add a subtle, bit more complex sweetness, with ginger, lime, and spice notes. A suggestion from Northern California. Salud!

Hi A G. I have used your recipe above to make a "Californian Margarita" which is now live on the site in your honour, and very tasty it is too. Many thanks.
