Best Margarita Recipe

The winner of our 2024 Margarita blind tasting, Christine Wiseman’s recipe reads like a hybrid of a classic Margarita and a Tommy’s Margarita. There’s a half-ounce of orange liqueur, the default in classic iterations of the drink, plus a half-ounce of agave syrup, the sweetener of choice in the latter build. The result is a Margarita with zip, body and balance and a tequila that shines through beautifully.
