This golden margarita recipe is perfect — made with all fresh ingredients! I love margaritas. Let me rephrase that, I love good margaritas.

This recipe is consistent, and will come out the same exact way every time.
Ingredients
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jiggers reposado tequila (such as Jose Cuervo® Gold)
- 1 cup ice cubes, or as needed
- salt as needed
- 1 teaspoon brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®), or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Squeeze lime juice and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker; top with sugar. Pour tequila over sugar mixture and add ice. Cover shaker and shake. Allow shaker to rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 2
Spread salt onto a plate. Rub the lemon around the rim of the margarita glass and dip the rim into the salt to coat. Pour margarita into glass and top with a brandy-based orange liqueur.
Tips
Use two heaping tablespoons white sugar. The most common mistake is people don't use enough white sugar because they think it's too much. The drink will be tart.
