This bonafide classic cocktail is the reason why tequila is the second best-selling liquor all over the US, just after vodka. A Margarita is made with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec as a sweetening agent. The name derives from its family of cocktails called 'Daisy' which in Spanish translates to 'Margarita'.
