What is a Margarita?
The Margarita is strongly associated with lime, agave-spirit character and orange notes. Exact recipes and ratios differ by bar and region, which makes sweetness, acidity and salt useful dimensions when comparing versions.
What to notice
Commonly served up or over ice, sometimes with salt on the rim. The balance between lime acidity and sweetness is one of the easiest characteristics to notice when rating one.
Alcohol-free option
Alcohol-free Margarita-style drinks can retain lime, orange and salt while replacing the spirit with an alcohol-free alternative or additional citrus.
