An Authentic Mexican Cocktail

Serve up a pitcher of tangy, refreshing margaritas at your next “grownups only” party! This classic cocktail (which originates in Mexico) is a balance of white tequila, lemon juice and orange liqueur with a little salt to rim the glass.

Here, GOYA® Lemon Juice adds fresh citrus taste that promises to perk up the cocktail – and your guests – in no time!

Step 1

In large pitcher, combine tequila, lemon juice, sugar and orange liquor; stir to combine. (Note: Margarita mixture can be made up to 12 hours in advance. Keep in refrigerator, covered.)

Step 2

If using salt, pour onto small plate. Moisten rims of lowball or margarita glasses with a damp paper towel; dip glasses in salt, tapping off excess.

Step 3

Fill glasses with ice. Pour margarita mixture into each glass (about 3 oz. per glass). Serve immediately.
