Best-ever margarita
The secret to this margarita is the addition of lemon-lime soft drink. The resulting margarita is cleaner, crisper and tastes more refined. Serve over ice for a refreshing cocktail.
Ingredients

- sea salt for rimming glasses
- 1 cupful ice cubes
- 125ml silver tequila
- 4 tablespoons sweetened lime juice cordial, such as Rose's

Ready in:5min
- Rim 2 margarita glasses with salt if desired and fill with ice.
- Pour the tequila, lime cordial, triple sec and lemon-lime soft drink into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Hold your hand firmly over over the top of the shaker so the top doesn't pop off from the fizzy soft drink and shake vigorously.
- Pour into prepared margarita glasses and serve.

Loved this drink! Used Cointreau instead of Triiple Sec and Sprite Zero for the lemon-lime soda. Did not rim the glasses with salt. Will definitely be making it again. Thanks for sharing your recipe. - 15 May 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Absolutely phenomenal. All you could ever want from a margarita recipe and then some. My husband just returned from a trip to Mexico, and I had to find a recipe that was worthy to use with the bottle of Blanco Patron he brought back. This most definitely fit the bill. Thanks!! - 14 Aug 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is the best Margarita recipe I have found yet on the Internet and I have tried out and experimented with dozens. I would call this the White Margarita had I named it. My wife thinks of it as a Dry Margarita. Either way we love it and hardly a weekend goes by that we don't whip up a batch. - 09 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
