The Classic Margarita on the rocks is a favorite summer drink for a reason. My recipe made with real lime juice is fresh, tart and delicious!

This refreshing Margarita tastes amazing alongside your favorite Mexican meals! Just like my Paloma Cocktail, it’s a perfect drink for the Summer.

Sabrina’s Classic Margarita Recipe

A delicious Margarita on the Rocks is the perfect cold drink to enjoy on a hot summer day. The basic cocktail mix is made with smooth tequila, plenty of ice, and a refreshing citrus flavor from the lime and triple sec. A touch of sweetness is added to balance all that tart lime with some simple syrup. This drink is perfect if you have friends over because it’s easy to make enough to share. Instead of having to mix each cocktail individually, you can stir it all together in a pitcher and pour everyone a serving!
