Notes & Tips
The ratio is everything here: 3 parts tequila, 2 parts Triple Sec, 1 part lime. Memorize it and you'll never need a recipe again. Always use fresh lime juice — bottled stuff tastes flat and you'll know it. For a mocktail version, swap the tequila for sparkling water and the Triple Sec for orange juice with a splash of simple syrup. Different vibe, but still really good on a hot day.
