Classic Lime Margarita

Classic Lime Margarita, my absolute favorite quick and easy drink! This recipe is only three simple ingredients and with such a refreshing taste, it’s an absolute MUST-HAVE for any occasion. Finish the drink with some salt and a fresh lime wedge, and it’s the best drink around.

Let’s be honest, every Saturday is totally improved with a cocktail!

I feel like everyone probably has a memories of a good margarita. This is an absolute favorite in our house because it’s simple, easy, but super flavorful! It’s also the best way to cool down on hot days.

We always grab a frozen lime margarita while at Epcot in Walt Disney World and, let’s be honest, there is nothing better!

This tastes almost exactly the same!

Seriously, does it get any better?

how to make a classic lime margarita

So easily! First, gather your ingredients. If you don’t already have a mixer, I recommend checking out our Homemade Sweet and Sour Mix.

If you would like salt, pour some onto a plate and use a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Press the edge of the glass to the salt and spin until thoroughly coated.

Now, combine your alcohol and sour mix in a cocktail shaker. Pour into a glass and serve over ice!
