Here at Delish, we can’t get enough of margaritas. We’ve done our fair share of experimenting with this classic cocktail, but when I'm craving a simple, no frills, refreshing cocktail, this classic recipe is the one I turn to. All you need are 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make one for yourself and a friend—get those limes out, and let happy hour begin!

If you've got margarita glasses, now is the time to use them! A rocks glass works just fine as well too. First, pour some salt onto a plate. Thoroughly rub the rim of your glass with a lime wedge, then dip into the salt to adhere.
Add in your ice, then pour the tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice into the prepared glass. Stir to combine (a cocktail spoon is handy for this).
Once your drink is combined, throw on a lime wheel or wedge or two to make it pretty. Bottoms up!
The full list of ingredients and instructions can be found in the recipe below.
Once you've got your basic margarita ratio down, you can experiment with all of the flavors and variations you please. Add in sweet fruit flavors (hello peach and pineapple), spicy kicks (lookin’ at you jalapeño), or create icy, frozen varieties (our frozen strawberry marg is a classic). Really want to shake things up? Combine some of your favorite cocktails together, just like we did with our mimosa margaritas and frozen sangria margaritas.
While we love a good pitcher moment, we went classic with these margs by serving them in individual glasses with a salt rim and lime garnishes. You can use kosher salt or coarse sea salt for your rim—whatever you prefer/have on hand will work. Alternatively, make a Tajín rim if you're craving some heat.
