My Guide To A Perfect Margarita!

Photography by Demetrius Robinson

Margaritas have always been last on my list of drinks to order when I’m at a bar. Mainly because I’ve never been a big fan of tequila, I’m certainly more of a Bourbon and Gin type of guy. But I’ve gotta admit this margarita recipe is certainly in my top five favorite cocktails now. There’s just something able the sourness of the fresh squeezed lime juice, mellowed out by the sweet but subtle flavors of the Agave Syrup that makes for the perfectly refreshing cocktail for the summer! Once you try this recipe, you’re going to love it for life, TRUST ME!
