Joe Bartender’s Guide To The Margarita
The Margarita is a very popular drink made from tequila. This cocktail drink is made with Triple sec (orange flavored liqueur), lime/lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt.
Generally the white or Blanco tequila is preferred for the margarita but this is a personal choice.. This potent cocktail usually consists of a mixture of 50% tequila, 25% Triple Sec, and 25% lime or lemon juice.
The drink is served with ice. Some individuals also add a sweetener either sugar or a honey to add sweetness.
Another deviation from the classic Margarita is to make the drink frothier. This is typically done by adding some egg white to the blended margarita. While the egg white makes no difference to the taste , it does bring more frothiness. In the Southern USA, some individual also make margarita from raspberries, strawberries and even mango juice. All the ingredients are blended.
Irrespective of how it is made or what the ingredients are, margarita are a great refreshing drink for any occasion/event.

I’ve heard from some bartenders that egg white isn’t done in drinks anymore because of the salmonella risk. Pretty small, but not worth the liability I guess.
