Margaritas are a type of cocktail that use tequila as the biggest ingredient. Tequila is a distilled beverage named after the Mexican city of the same name.
The standard ingredients of a margarita are 7 parts tequila to 4 parts Cointreau to 3 parts lime juice. The drink is served in a margarita glass, whose rim is first rubbed with a slice of lime, and then dipped in salt which sticks to the rim. The other ingredients are then shaken together and poured (carefully) into the glass, which is then garnished with the lime. It is usually served over ice.
Cointreau is an orange flavoured liqueur, and other similar drinks can be substituted. Another recipe substitutes triple sec for Cointreau. There are other variants on the drink, and a popular one is the frozen margarita, which is served as a blended ice slush.
