It is no secret I love me some Tequila! Margaritas are a must to cool off on a hot summer day. In honor of National Tequila Week, I wanted to share some of my favorite recipes with you! They are simple, not too expensive, and quick to make -- Triple Threat!
First off, the best recipe for a basic margarita is to follow a 3-1-1 ratio. This means 3 parts
tequila, 1 part Cointreau (or other such liqueur) and 1 part lime
juice…stir or shake! Though that's just the basics of it. I have my three favorite tequila drinks below!
Combine all ingredients in a glass with ice, stir to chill! Of course, cherry and orange slice for decor ;-)

Paloma
Hailing from Mexico, the Paloma is one of the most refreshing tequila highballs out there. This is my preferred drink of choice, but I have my own twist to it.
1 ounce blanco Tequila
1 ounce grapefruit soda
Fresh lime juice
I use Squirt, but also fight the acidity with a splash of Cranberry juice. These are all three ingrediants most bars have!

The fact that National Tequila Day fell on a Monday this year didn’t stop Jose Cuervo from celebrating in style. They actually set up three special water fountains in LA to dispense silver tequila, but sadly only for today.
