Margarita #2Cocktail recipe
Rating
The Margarita is a popular and refreshing cocktail that is believed to have originated in Mexico in the 1930s. It typically consists of lime juice, triple sec, and tequila, which give it a tangy and slightly sweet flavor profile.
In this version, known as the Margarita #2, sour mix is included to add an additional layer of tartness and balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients. A pinch of salt is often added to the rim of the glass, providing a nice contrast to the zesty citrus flavors.
The Margarita #2 is a perfect blend of sweet, sour, and salty, making it a beloved choice for cocktail enthusiasts looking for a refreshing and flavorful drink.

Is it better to shake or stir a Margarita #2?
A Margarita #2 is best when shaken. Shaking not only chills the drink but also properly mixes the ingredients, especially the sour mix and lime juice, creating a smooth, integrated flavor. Remember to strain the mixture into your glass to remove ice chips.

A Margarita #2 is traditionally served in a cocktail glass, also known as a martini glass. This glass showcases the drink's vibrant color and ensures the salted rim is easily accessible, enhancing the drinking experience.
How does the alcohol content in a Margarita #2 compare to that of a standard beer?
The alcohol content of a Margarita #2 is approximately 20%. In contrast, a standard beer typically has an alcohol content of about 4% to 6%. This means the Margarita #2 is significantly stronger in terms of alcohol content, suggesting that it should be enjoyed more sparingly.
