Personal Notes:
Fresh lime juice is the answer to the question: how to make a margarita that is unforgettable. A classic margarita should have a nice balance of both sweet and sour. This particular cocktail won’t lie; most prepared mixes don’t taste as bright and fresh as the real thing so taking the time to squeeze juice before bartending is key.
