The blanco version was delicious, but if you like a deeper and smokier tequila flavor, then go for the reposado. Since I prefer a more aged tequila, we used Reposado Tequila instead, which gave it a slightly smokier finish. In their original recipe, they used Blanco Tequila. We didn’t do much to change their recipe, as it was pretty much perfect as it was! The only change we made was the type of tequila. However, I found Ev and Kenz’ recipe to be absolutely perfect! So, I begged them for the recipe and they generously gave it to us over the Christmas holiday. I tend to like simple margaritas (the skinny version) with just some fresh squeezed lime juice and reposado tequila (and depending on my mood, maybe a touch of agave).
To qualify my review of this margarita, I need to make it clear that I am a cocktail purest. After just one sip, we were smitten with this delightful cocktail! It had a chili salt rim, and the margarita was not too sweet or too tart. We were welcomed with lots of smiles and hugs, and my younger cousin Evan and his fiancé McKenzie, offered us their signature cocktail - a margarita. After many months of pandemic isolation, my husband and I attended our first family gathering at my cousin’s home. You are probably wondering how we came up with this version of a margarita recipe. Another alleges that a restaurant owner created the margarita in honor of a Ziegfeld showgirl who would only drink tequila! And, the list goes on… Whomever invented this deliciously tangy, tart, and sweet cocktail, should be given a medal of honor! I’m sure you will agree that we are truly grateful to them for their contribution to cocktail history! One story claims this cocktail was inspired by the actress Rita Hayworth (aka: Margarita Casino). The stories vary greatly about who inspired this sweet and sour libation. It is said that the margarita was invented somewhere between 19, and by various bartenders and hotel owners throughout Mexico. There seems to be significant debate about when and who invented this globally recognized cocktail. It’s perfectly balanced and easy to put together, making it a great cocktail to serve to guests when you are entertaining. It’s sure to become your go-to margarita recipe! It is such a yummy cocktail, and is so smooth to drink. Whether you are making cocktails for game day, Cinco de Mayo, or any day of the year, our Marvelous Margarita is simple and delicious. Then remove pitcher from the fridge, stir mixture, pour up to two servings at a time into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, and shake vigorously. As guests arrive, fill prepared cocktail glasses with fresh ice cubes, and garnish with lime wheels. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve. To prepare the margarita mixture in advance, just add the lime juice, Cointreau liqueur, Tequila, and agave nectar to a pitcher, and stir to combine.
Pre-slice all the lime wheels, place them in a Ziploc bag, and refrigerate until ready to use. Prep the garnishes in advance by dipping rims of all the glasses into honey (or agave), then into the Tajin, and set aside.

Although you will not use a full teaspoon of honey for a single serving, this technique is helpful when serving multiple cocktails when entertaining. Instead of using a plate for the honey, you can dip the tip of your finger in a little honey, and wet the rim with your finger.
