Notes
This ratio of tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup is a classic starting point, but feel free to adjust the sweetness or tartness to your liking. Some prefer a 2:1:1 ratio for a tangier drink, or a little extra agave if a sweeter cocktail is desired. Always taste and tweak to create your perfect Margarita!
