The margarita is a cocktail consisting of tequila mixed with triple sec and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim. It is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the United States. The drink is usually served shaken with ice, on the rocks, blended with ice (frozen margarita) or without ice (straight up). All three methods are frequently served with salt on the rim of the glass. The IBA (IBA Official list of Cocktails) standard is 7:4:3, that is, 50% tequila, 29% Triple Sec, 21% fresh lime or lemon juice. Margaritas often contain an additional sweetener, such as simple syrup or plain sugar; alternatively the margarita can be made with bottled lime juice, with frozen limeade, or sour mix (each of which contains sugar). - Source: Wikipedia    (hide)
