The primary ingredient found in a margarita is tequila. This iconic cocktail typically combines tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, most commonly Cointreau or Triple Sec. Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant, primarily produced in the region surrounding the city of Tequila in Mexico. The margarita can be served in various styles: on the rocks, blended, or straight up, often with a salted rim around the glass. This refreshing drink has become a staple in bars and restaurants, enjoyed by many for its balance of sweetness and tartness.
