The Margarita is the most common tequila-based cocktail, made with tequila mixed with triple sec and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim.

Common ratios for a margarita are:

• 2:1:1 = (50% tequila, 25% Triple Sec, 25% fresh lime or lemon juice)
• 3:2:1 = (50% tequila, 33% Triple Sec, 17% fresh lime or lemon juice)
• 3:1:1 = (60% tequila, 20% Triple Sec, 20% fresh lime or lemon juice)
• 1:1:1 = (33% tequila, 33% Triple Sec, 33% fresh lime or lemon juice)

although the IBA (IBA Official list of Cocktails) standard is

• 7:4:3 = (50% tequila, 29% Triple Sec, 21% fresh lime or lemon juice)

The drink is usually served shaken with ice, on the rocks, or blended with ice (the "frozen margarita"). All three methods are frequently served with salt on the rim of the glass. While the most common margaritas contain tequila, orange liqueur, lime or lemon juice, and sometimes an additional sweetener, such as simple syrup, many variations are becoming more and more common. Bottled lime juice (which contains sugar) is another method used to add sweetness.
