    Classic One Two Three Margarita!

    April 2, 2021 by Anna Leave a Comment

    This One Two Three Margarita has literally 3 ingredients. That's all you need to make a fresh, delicious basic Margarita. Sometimes simple is best!

    One Two Three Margarita, it's not a drinking chant, in this case it's the actual drink! With this recipe you'll always remember how to make a fresh, tasty, Margarita using only 3 ingredients, no mixes necessary! 

    The first time I ever had a Margarita made with fresh lime juice we were visiting some friends of ours who live on Nantucket (I know, we are very lucky!).

    Three ingredients, that's all you need to make a fresh, delicious basic Margarita. This One Two Three Margarita is as easy as 1-2-3!

    One day I walked into the kitchen and there were lime carcasses everywhere. And Mike (one half of the 3rd couple in our group) was feverishly squeezing limes.

    Three ingredients, that's all you need to make a fresh, delicious basic Margarita. This One Two Three Margarita is as easy as 1-2-3!

    Well, those limes gave up their lives for some of the best Margaritas I've ever tasted. And of course I thought, "if he can do it, so can I"!

    So, I set about experimenting with different combinations of the ingredients for the basic drink. (hic!) That's how my One Two Three Margarita came to be.

    Three ingredients, that's all you need to make a fresh, delicious basic Margarita. This One Two Three Margarita is as easy as 1-2-3!

    It's true that the freshest simplest ingredients often yield the best food and drink; and that's definitely the case with this concoction.

    This is the best hand tool I've found for easily juicing lemons and limes.

    Whip up a batch of these One Two Three Margaritas and serve with some Guacamole and chips for a classic refreshing cocktail hour.

    Three ingredients, that's all you need to make a fresh, delicious basic Margarita. This One Two Three Margarita is as easy as 1-2-3!

    This is a basic recipe, feel free to add a bit of orange juice, or simple syrup, or maybe you want to muddle some jalapeño to spice it up!
