Margarita

This favorite from Square 1682 in Philadelphia is made with fresh lime juice, good-quality tequila, and agave nectar or syrup. (It's easy to make a big batch ahead of time to serve a crowd; just combine all ingredients except the ice together in a pitcher.) — Allison Beck

Margarita Shopping Tip

Buy your booze in bulk – transfer what you need into smaller bottles to stock your bar – you’ll save money and have enough leftover for your next party.

Margarita Cooking Tip

Add another layer of flavor to your cocktails by making your own simple syrup – combine equal parts sugar and water with whatever aromatics you like – fresh herbs, whole spices, citrus, or chile peppers – heat to dissolve sugar and strain before using.
