Norteño Margarita Recipes

Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

Josie Davidson is one of the great hostesses of South Texas and learned to make margaritas from her father, Chris Gill, who received the recipe in the 1970s from Mario Cantu, owner of Mario's, an old-line Mexican restaurant in San Antonio. She passed her knowledge along to The Times in 2015: Combine equal parts tequila, orange liqueur and fresh lime juice in a pitcher, using a measuring glass if you have one to get it to 26 ounces exactly (deploy a splash or so more than a cup per liquid if you don't), then add 6 ounces of water to the mix and set it in the refrigerator to chill. Serve over ice in glasses with salted rims. She doesn't use triple sec - she says it's too cloying. Her father advocates Cointreau. For Davidson, only Paula's Texas Orange liqueur will do.

A splash of pineapple juice fine-tuned with some lemon brightens sotol, a spirit with yeasty character and chamomile flavor. Pineapple is a reliable ingredient for most Mexican spirits. The drink is easy to assemble and the recipe can be doubled or even increased to a pitcherful for a party. If you plan on including agave drinks in your repertory, it pays to have agave syrup on hand for the most felicitous sweetener.
